THE EVOLUTION OF OUR SPECIES - 
FROM THE PRIMORDIAL OOZE
​​By Joe Catalano

This scene caught my eye in February 2022 as I was walking through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.  It could be a depiction of the continuing evolution of our species. 

We Humans arose from the primordial ooze. 
We are spending a brief moment above it, and we are quickly returning whence we came.

TELEPHONE POLE -
24th St., San Francisco - near Whole Foods
​​By Joe Catalano

Where have all the messages gone?"  Rusting staples are all that remain from countless posted messages searching for lost cats, guitar lessons, and missing people.  And, maybe, one looking for you?

​Joe Catalano practiced law for more than 30 years before he retired in 2018. He has since pursued his interests in photography, high performance driving, travel, and writing. He has enjoyed his first OLLI as SF State courses in the spring semester 2019 and thanks the members of the OLLI at SF State Poetry Writing interest group for their input and support. He lives in San Francisco with his wife Joan.
