Darwin

First, maybe we felt human, before the thumbs
slid down the walls of the hand
and prior to all this hairlessness,
bed sheets hung on a wire.
Maybe we were good and shrews,
eating six times our body weight
and admiring the sunset.
But maybe we were moles,
pleased to have underground
such interesting company.

Ed Skoog has had work published recently in 3rd Bed, Mid-American Review, Slate, New Orleans Review, and Fine Madness

A finalist for the Yale Younger Poets award in 2000, he lives and writes from New Orleans, Louisiana.
