Evolution by Edwin Brock


EVOLUTION

One wave
sucking the shingle
and three birds
in a white sky

one man
and one idea
two workmen
and a concrete mixer

one wave
shingle
white walls
bird and sky

two workmen
and a concrete mixer

white walls
wave and windows
bird and sky

wave and white rooms
walls and windows
lights and sky

five hundred men
and a computer

desks and days
white walls
lights and
one computer

rooms and men
lights
one computer
desks and days

rooms and windows
desks and lights
lights and days
and days and rooms

desks and rooms
days and lights
daylight in
dayrooms
and days
in desks
and days
in days

and one man
mad
dreaming of

one wave
sucking the shingle
and three birds
in a wide sky
