Vertical Evolution Poem by Boghos Artinian

As in eons past, for eons hence
Cells must always bathe in liquids dense,
For gases cannot them sustain
Be they single or be they twain.

Thus to forsake the liquid ocean
They had to unite with caution
Into bags of liquid soup
Classified: the terrestrial group.

As in eons past for eons hence
Humans must always breath gases dense,
For vacuum cannot them sustain
Be they single or be they twain.

Thus to forsake the gaseous ocean
they have to socialize with caution
Into spaceships with gaseous soup
Classified: the galactic group
