The Future is Neurotic

A Poem by Davidgeo

.

You would associate something with pain
To remind yourself,
                                    stay the f**k away
In the wild this is crucial
As an adult this is useful
To the modern human
As a child, this is crushing
Responsible for forming
     : so many irrational reminders
Born from the pain of the underdeveloped
Youthful, tiny little human brain
Understanding disfunction
At way too young an age
A brain bred special . . .
Formed from a wild nature
Over eons
From chaos
Made to overcome any manner of terror
In the dark
With sticks and just fire
Naturally
Forming now from something else
Naturally
Instinctually confused
    and eventually
Inevitably neurotic
so,
It’s all chaos
I guess
That forms us
It’s not going to get less crazy
Naturally

Absolutely love the detail in this piece
"It's all chaos"
There are many unthinkable and crazy things that happen every day and its so beautifully and thrillingly put together in your words about how all these flaws are consuming us.

"It's all chaos"
How thrilling it was to read your words. There are so many irrational reminders out there. Tiny human brains who think they are bigger than others and yet the lies they keep feeding themselves in the end only favor chaos itself.
As you beautifully said it:
"It’s not going to get less crazy
Naturally"

yeah interesting, as I was reading this I was thinking - yes it is only going to get more crazy - yes, that is the nature of things - then I thought - visualise what that is going to look like from a distance - farm by frame over hundreds of years and then sped up for a future generation or race - I imagine it would look like an overactive bunsen burner reaching its climax and then pop - none of us were ever anymore ... Naturally of course X
