the only logical explanation
to my query rests somewhere
within evolution
.
how to explain the behaviors
of my youth
.
single celled amoeba
causation
division into
organ systems
due to
lightning striking
mossy rocks
primordial chemistry
.
pangea with a side of tea
.
to become an eel
shark
murky creature swimming
with unforgiving teeth
.
finally to manifest
a mermaid
my beautiful
mother’s daughter
certainly
willing pirates lured
by my siren song
plucking their heart strings
until boredom set in
only to drown them
in the sea
.
it explains
my enduring love
for fishnet stockings
