Reincarnation Theory

today, struggling to wake,

i stumbled up the stairs,

attacking each one

in turn, as they came

after early morning urination

call,

 

 

and it was in some movement,

in some bodily gesture,

or mannerism

that seemed to reach back

over generations of genetics,

 

 

and came

more as a feeling

than a thought,

 

 

at first,

 

 

and i thought to myself,

my father does that,

did his father do that too, and

maybe his father before him?

 

 

how far back into the past

does this mannerism go?

 

 

who was the first?

 

 

why?

 

 

some kind of

reincarnation theory

perhaps,

 

 

but more

as cellular evolutionary

biology,

 

 

than

 

 

metaphysical mishmosh,

and semantic

spooks

Ah reincarnation of evoultion, well said, I like the spontaneity and philosophy behind your words. A daunting combination.

On the contrary, metaphysical it is, but isn't. Like how you formulated the thought. Theoretical. I'm on the fence:) There's no certainty in anything we think we know.

. so true ... like emily, even i find that i'm a lot like my mother ... and ... my nephew is a lot like my brother ... we do the strangest of things in the same way ... like turning the pages of a magazine ... opening and closing doors ... it's all pretty spooky ... sometimes ... lol ! ... :) ...

i often grimace to find my mother in my movements, i wonder if she ever found her mother in her day to day
