If I were to bleed from a wound or two,
You’d note, in amazement, my blood is blue.
I’m found as a fossil in ancient stone,
Yet, living today, I’m almost a clone.
My eyes will adjust a great many fold,
To see, by the moonlight, who I can hold.
If I could tell my mate, I would say it is true,
These wonderful eyes are only for you.
I’m one of the last to die from pollution,
A living exception to evolution.
