Evolutionary Yours, Max

by Max Bouillet

A former friend and I
raced up our DNA
strands.

A double helix
is far more slippery and fragile
than those animations
on the Discovery Channel
portray.

Anyway, my friend won
and became God.

At that moment,
I knew what the
Neanderthals thought
when they saw
those sleek pretty Homo sapiens
coming in from the south...

"jerks."

I have to come back now that I've calmed down - I really like the use of the double helix as an object on which one can race, especially the S3 jab at the friend becoming God, and the Neanderthals' economy of words upon seeing the newcomers. Well done.

...and I thought: "Who would want to win that race? [so inhumanely human -- makes you want to shed a tier :]
Good to see you writing again Max... (and when was this potd?)
