All birds—even those that do not fly—have wingsA constant confessionAdmission of omissionThis is your punctuated equilibriumAnd everything in betweenSlow it downThe moment of extinctionThe death of the last individual of a species(Let’s put it aside for now)Stay with itThis is our gene flowHow do you like our genetic driftA riff, a rift, a raft…Too rough for the second halfTake us under, take us downhillPaint pangenesis all over your dancing bodyThe new party godKeep the beat going, don’t stop, you can’t stopCrick & WatsonEvo-devoThis is your mother’s local phenomenonIf this is racial hygieneWhy do I feel so dirty?Microcosmic soulIt’s an involutionary wonderlandThis living matterA modern synthesis4.6 billion years of biologyCan’t stop the ideologyGraduate from meet/mateTo fitness landscape of sexual selectionFrom land over seaIt’s a hard lyricThe impression of a key in a bar of soapA transitional fossilKeep campingPlant the flagBury the burial moundPut the pop in popularAnd the sigh in science
