Eon: Part I

multiple millennia reduced to centuries, centuries reduced to decades & a period of decades making up the life of one completely random, accidental, insignificant & meaningless life, found on one planet in a galaxy, in a universe of which it is only an infinitesimally small speck, a stain on the passage of the miniscule history of this species. born beneath a sun, like absolutely everyone else--- later said to be a “sign,” a “sign” later to be described as “bad”--- found down the river in the depths of the city amidst the pollution & rats--- the mother told the father & the father left when he heard. now, many a psychiatrist will say that the abandonment of the father early on, would promote down the line an individual who is constantly devoid of trust for another human being, that is, being loved in such a manner that one might develop such a relation with said individual is an impossibility & many a shrink will determine this to be the case even more, when both parents bail on said child, but mother could not afford to raise this kid on her own, despite whatever other reasons might have existed at the time.
