call it, cell division restrictions
with heavy implications
on age limit correlations
old and decrepit
one day your fingers will become brittle sticks
wrapped inconsistently in thin wrinkly papers
approaching uselessness
every page gets turned slower
understood less and less often
as everything begins to be forgotten
watch out now
here comes genomic instability
aka the road to an old death
or a cancerous death
or a radiation death
maybe a chemical death
or from sharp metal or heavy stone
perhaps from the claws
or teeth
of another clever beast
(an inaudible noise)
whatever's clever, it's all ******* death
when it starts...
it progresses (pray for quickness)
please dear
have a little neurodegeneration
with that
it won't matter, you'll forget
and **** your pants
eventually
maybe she's born with it
maybe it's recombinational DNA repair error
either way we're all on our own way into cyclic deficiencies of repair
that night shift mr. fix it staff
the stupid intern who makes the copies
gets the coffee
eventually, the manager hires his nephew
and outsources the night shift to mental patients
things then start to unravel
as all things fall apart
sometimes it's exogeny
other times from within
endogenous like
anyway, it's all "whatever"
("it's not a tuma!")
these things that are eventual, tend to be tragic
universally so
the upper limit to individual "forever's"
this could be law
when that which you cannot see stops doing what you cannot believe
you tend to die
and everything has it's time to die
everyone of us becomes due in time
to become one spectacle of a tragedy
or another
like you've never seen before
like you would never believe
until it happens to you...
when you go,
when you hear,
ha... that,
(inaudible sound)
