Bolero

I'm thinking of the cartoon rendition
Where evolution and complexity go
Hand in hand, constantly moving
Forward, one step in front of the other...
In a most linear fashion.

One foot in front of the other.
None of this 'two steps back'
Kind of thing.

What's the necessary thing to experience:
That missing piece in the puzzle -
I bet we're all over the map and not
So orderly, lined up in neat rows.

But there is no one to take bets that
We can see. At least not me.
