time-sponges:

You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry.  You agree to get him dinner. You open up to the kids menu, your child is far to young for adult food. Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don’t understand. Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry.  Your mind strains, searching for an answer in a world of sweer potato and french fried. You try to order the chicken nugger, but you cannot. The words cannot escape your lips. Your son is hungry, he complains. The waitress stares at you, her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging french fried. Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child. In your mind you scream. It is raining sweer potato now, you have french fried engraved on your left temple and you do not understand. Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving. Starving for the chicken nugger.

repersonne:

there was a boy who sat to my left

for twenty mondays in one long spring,

whose face i couldn’t look at, though i tried, 

so, his only declaration:

alarm-red shoes in my periphery

(its worn corners i studied well),

and i wish i knew his eyes,

because maybe he wears different shoes now

It’s nice to have someone who deserves this.

Primate brains, because they provided the genome which expressed them a sufficient expected increase in fitness, and because their very design (stochastic neural nets) gave them practically limitless potential for improving their ability to increase fitness, kept evolving themselves bigger and smarter until they got to be complex enough to figure out that
