When you have a child
You create a half-clone of yourself.
And then you try your damnedest
To prevent unfavourable phenotypic expression.

#Idea – Love / 29.08.19
Love is a biochemical strategy concocted by your genes
To help them propagate.
It is dressed up in social ritual
And awash in oxytocin.
And yet
To know this
Is not to diminish its power in any real way.

Some people have the ‘problem’ in which
They are ready to die, but their body isn’t.
Usually, it’s the other way round.
Perhaps death is best when both mind and body are in agreement.

Decreasing dependence on each other.

You’re keeping up with the Jones’
But they aren’t happy and neither are you.

Life is a story with no plot,
Changed with every retelling.

#Poem – Nihilism / 21.09.19
The face
The mirror
Nothing but a death’s head,
Waiting.
There for the sake of nothing at all
And grinning at nothing in particular.

Art may be the last outpost in the defence of free speech.
