A wee snippet
Without any say I was placed on this outrageous spherical clump of matter, as some super intricately created thing with remarkable capabilities and intelligence (called a human). With in-built things beyond my control (genetics), no handbook, and larger versions as ‘life instructors’ (like parents and teachers who were also relatively clueless), I was set loose among zillions of other equally aimless beings. No one displayed warning signage such as: ‘Do Not Engage’, ‘Beware of Ego’, ‘Toxic Waste’, ‘Dead End’, ‘Insecure Load’, ‘Destructive Forces’. From all this you can see things were not destined to go well.
Many decades and close calls later, I am pleased to be here still existing above the surface of the sphere, with most of my humanoid functions seemingly working, albeit some in a more limited capacity. How would I describe my whole evolution and passage, from the wee snippet of a thing through to balding middle aged man, in a single word? ‘Incomprehensible’ comes to mind. I wont try to unravel or make sense of it all, rather just be happy for translations of it be expressed within my writing.
Thank you for joining me and I hope some of my poetry makes more sense than lives can often do.
