Let me explain what evolution shows:
lack of curiosity killed the cat –
the hunter must always keep on hunting,
pry under each rock, never trust, disdain
the obvious, overcome all smugness
with sheer restless energy that’s mental
and physical both; the cat that survives
must endure appearing foolish not just
to others but to himself – let them laugh
all they want, living’s no laughing matter
and when this cat sleeps his dreams do not rest
but sort follies in other dimensions
cat that’s not curious is goner cat
this is exactly the place that we’re at
