Chain Reactions

The organic chemistry of memory is faster than light. it cannot be deleted, only defeated. That cellular crucible deletes itself by an entropy of catalytic reactions. Stop stoking the flames then the ash will then fly away. Whose your daddy, whose your ma? Who parents your life, now that the parents have become your children, progeny recollected by old images of yourself. The world, that part of the brain we know as us, it is always incomplete, it does not evolve, it only recalls itself over and over again. We are unborn, the progenitors of an imagined ancestry. Our legacy is a rootless mirage, and we can never delete what never was.
