No Resting In Peace
The Comical Tragedy of Sentience
"Each conscious brain is merely an evolutionary tool whose
primary function is to prevent each successive pain from
running its course."
-- Neurobiology 101 for the Lover of Life's Junket
* * *
The voyage of each conscious life yet never smooth shall run --
by Pain each brain tossed overboard slow drowning till undone.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the neurological Reality of nonstop Pains untold
till death
a revolving helios couplet menippean satire on
the popular, sentimental, romanticized notion of
having a good trip
(as well as a safe journey)
april, 2023 -- yet countless romanticists and rhymesters
still fancying sentient existence as having more than
one continuous stage of
soulless Pain
