Watch What Happens

If we can assume from what appears to be persuasive

evidence supporting the Darwinian hypothesis that through

the eons the innate proclivity of every class of living things

has been to mutate mercilessly randomly, get sick and die

off quickly, until finally it stumbles into one of those

symmetrical economies of means that strictly serve survival,

what accounts for the arrival through Imagination of my

untoward babies’ birth? They don’t look as if they’d last

a nanosecond on the Earth. You say, “that’s because they

aren’t really here. Marks you make on paper lack intrinsic

meaning: that you use inert, reductive symbols to imbue

with sentient animate existence, almost always out of anxious

loneliness and narcissistic fear, seems clear.” And I say, ha!
Watch what happens when you tell them that, my dear.”
