Evolution

Evolution

He had to readapt his way of thinking because he decided to start living on all fours

Readjustment came into every aspect of his daily confinement; some objects had to be moved onto the walls in order to meet body necessities

His vision of the world suffered a rotation of roughly ninety degrees

Which in fact created the illusion of having landed on another planet

Mastery of this new spatial relation was not easy It took him a few months to decline on historic impulses

Finally, imbued with a sense of realization, he jumped for joy!

The Time Conviction

It's very easy

we come up with

                     concepts

of things we

observe

or that we conclude from

observation

of things

that have a pleasant or

unpleasant

effect on our

daily life

and

                    definitions

that is to say

                    our evolution -

yes we do, like

my grandma, she did

not think of life behind

a screen, social-friendship-community

all in one concepts-as-tools that

we start playing with

for free

but molding brains

ours as the habit

dresses you

as hammers and cement

and guns and bread

they all enkindle physical mental pictures

ours just out of

consequence

stagnation

repetition

                     - our mind's evolution is

taking place

in time

now

as I write this here

expected somewhere else

disrobing my daily figurine

in pristine manner

realizing that somehow along

that line of

evolution

we must have induced

                     the time conviction

as a ubiquitous tool

for mankind and allkind

for past and future

all

I ask my self

was there any time before we

will there still be any

when diluted in time

our existence perishes

in eternity
