Bobbie D Said That

lobe-finned fishes arose four-footed lineage
each hand and foot webbing
poorly climbed to the land on their poor fish shoulders 
carry their histr'y on weight-bearing position
for paddling or for holding
ribs too short for support
gills not external nor naked nor weigian
like those axolotl kiss'd Iodine with 
scared by Clacks on the flanks of the rocks
but was only boot soles clacking loudly upon them
scaring the God-fearing eskimos

Acanthostega
you Devonian Devil
walk that your Lineage is long
