“Darwin Descending” by Russell Edson-Do you believe in evolution, oh, thing of easy answers?Do you believe Darwin was descended from a thing more jaw than head?
… Imagine an early Darwin roving the trees, nostalgic for the future…A female Darwin slaps him on the back of his small, but promisinghead; whatcha thinking about, ya brainless brute? she peeps.I was just wondering about the origin of species, he twitters.You haven’t the brains of a modern chimpanzee, she screeches.Yeah, but I think that’s where I’m evolving; a large-brained primatewith an opposable thumb, with which I shall oppose all of nature,twitters Darwin.Oh, stop it, you’re hardly on to tools; why, you haven’t even fooledwith fire yet, she hoots.Yeah, but one day, Darwinette, I’m gonna talk good, and even learnhow to write talking with a fountain pen …Promises, promises …
But, as we all know, Darwin did descend.It was at a cocktail party, and he had been roving the upstairs hallslooking for the indoor plumbing.And now he was returning via the carpeted stairway.Everyone turned and applauded: look, the descent of Darwin!
