Since Darwin's Time

​Since Darwin’s time, the molecule
Has got so complicated, who can
Tease its tangles out? See
The bright orange orangutan

Crouch then leap from space to space
And puzzle out the universe.
There is a line that flows from heaven
To the clatter in your purse.

Until the threads of clouds will roll
Across the earth, the lamps will blink,
And sitting at your desk, you’ll write
The name of light in black ink.
