INTELLIGENT DESIGN FLAWS

Suddenly one 
unoriginal July day—in the hot rude lateless 
of ongoing afternoon 

you're—perched 
on a porch 
sipping iced coffee and munching

and contemplating—a million 
and one little 
madeleine cookies—tiny repeating seashells 

all modeled after
the very 
first perfect madeleine cookie—

only—you realize
there probably was no actual first 
madeleine cookie—

and just you're so over-
whelmed
by the implications of that 

implacable thought— 
that you 
simply must 

stop and
haul off to the nearest park—and go 
splashing  

through the swimming pool
of cool
and endlessly—and 

refreshingly 
bue and self-
similar water.
