I am the Alpha

I am the alpha male, baby:
Come to me lithe and bare of limb.
Ego Canis Lupas Irremeabilis.
Come, gaze upon the ornaments of Darwin
Hard carved triumph of selection
Survival preening in momentum of perfectly
Timed erection. Who can restrain the marvel
Of the recent, the ancient, double helix
Lodged in the will
Teeming in artery clogged with discretion.
I am the alpha-male, baby,
Take this in remembrance yea for
I am not the way
And I am not the light:
I am the amber eyes of night
Wielding virility like the jawbone of an ass.
