Levels Of Selection Poem by Paul Moosberg

A Darwinian frustration
Of how to show a relation
Between steps of evolution
I found assortments in a row
Of eight containments that I know
To find out why what is below

And in a changing reaction
Survival and sex selection
Seems to restrict evolution
My levels of control can show
How things can start and things can grow
The key is what controls below

The upper layer’s formation
With lower layer foundation
Shows levels of evolution
Inside of this design will flow
Eight lakes of layers that I sew
The ones above use what’s below
