Rolling Dice
by Odin Roark
Natural selection
Can’t help it
Way back
Necessity abounded
Creating proceeds by chance
Expanded into nonrandom reality
From random happenstance
Amassed complexity from
Cross-thatched simplicity
Spark-lit some consciousness
Through unconscious irony
Popped out creatures
Demanding purpose and discovery
And science/common sense labeled it
Evolution
