The last common ancestor
Between us and honeybees,
Roughly six hundred
Million years ago,
Had a brain and reproduced
Sexually, probably.
Offspring went their separate ways.
Offspring go their separate ways.
If you’re the last ancestor
Common to anything left
Half a billion years from now,
Will your descendants partner
Or contest to run the world?
More likely these words’ kids will.
