So what
if you cannot be
precise, thorough-
going, or
complete
with your reason;
in the heat of
the moment
there is no need.
After all,
one must not be afraid
to make a big statement—
then pay strict attention
to where the
controversy leads.
Thus, during the
delicate dawn
of the season,
it becomes especially
tempting
to say
that eugenics,
divine intervention,
phrenology—
even evolution
by natural selection—
may be the reason
that flowers
seem so superior
to leaves.
