Wisdom

I wonder about the cotton clouds,
their snail pace almost imperceptible.
Always, carrying on.

I wonder about 160,000 years of homo sapien.
How close are we to the first human?

How gradual is the shift?

How protracted my own evolution?

I hear only,

Can you slow down, child?

And then,

Now.

Can you slow down even more?
