The Secret of Evolution

Crooked is comforting
Lopsided too

My faulty darling stays with me
because she thinks I’m too good for her
and I think she’s more than I deserve

I want to see her again if only to say
when it was good, you made it good.

Your love didn’t touch me
though I loved when you touched me

A pathological fear of spawn made me want to double-wrap
Pill plus peel plus spermicide equals peace of mind

Maybe I was afraid to have a reason to stay
The secret of evolution is babies
