This text passage and the dance that follows is an evocation of Darwin's concept of "natural selection." The dance is literally a 'time step' structure or jazz repetition and revision of a basic step pattern with breaks or variations. My hope was to evoke a sense of geological time and evolution as phenomena that the human imagination can only begin to comprehend with metaphor.
