Evolution of Man, a poetry tumble continuation

A continuation of Poetry Tumble, started from one line of a special poem by a special poet. From that point I took the last line of my poem and made it the first line of another poem, not as a story continuation, but a new poem that stands alone. To see whose poem I borrowed (with permission) a line from — and to read the entire collection in order, click on Poetry Tumble tab at the top of the blog.

Evolution of man


Perhaps, it was all of this or none.
Would one alternative
outweigh conscious thought?
Would one grin
undermine hardened walls
built within?
Would one false word
negate all truth
that came before?
Would one outstretched hand
trip rather than lift?
Would one misstep
change future movement?
Would each of these
displace the other?

Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
