Evolution of an artist

She laid in bed at night and complained , something

is wrong with our child; her genetic donor

rolled over and muttered, go to sleep

tomorrow, we will fix its flaws

_____

Norms mutate

They don’t know why

They just do

_____

Grocery shoppers eat

the beautiful, avoid bruised fruit

Chuck, evolution doesn’t care about fitness

it’s survival of the broken, the bitter and perverse
