Philip Appleman Quotes

Darwin's Ark
The Fact Is, I Know Those Ancestors
floating Through My Sleep:
an Animal That Breathed Water,
had A Great Swimming Tail,
an Imperfect Skull, Undoubtedly
hermaphrodite ... I Slide
through All The Oceans With These Kin,
salt Water Pulsing In My Veins,
and Aeons Follow Me Into The Trees:
a Hairy, Tailed Quadruped,
arboreal In Its Habits, Scales
slipping Off My Flanks ...
I Have Sailed The Ancients Seas To Come
to The Bones Of Megatherium ...
The Thing I Want To Father Most
is The Rarest, Most Difficult Thing Of All.
Though Knee-deep In These Rivers Of Innocent Blood,
I Want To Be - A Decent Animal.
