when does mythology end,
and history begin?

          i fear that the current state
of journalism,
we can begin to forget about
this stated conundrum...

where only poetics is bound
to obey the transition period...

like Virgil...
   the gateway between the pagan
and the Christian centuries...
born in 70BC,
dying in 19BC, the poem
(the Aeneid) unfinished,
8 year prior after the republican
government of old Rome
gave place to the rule of emperors,
and only a few years before
the Christian era started...

mythology is the sort of history
that, seemingly, one poets
demand to convey or rather,
upkeep...
                
      and readily misguided as
pure fancy, imagination
and other burdensome
nuances of metaphor...

of course i think that mythology
is real, but it is real only
in the poetic realm,
where language enjoys nuance...
ambiguity...
the tendency to over-hype
unexplored territories and states
of consciousness...

before rigid science gave birth
to journalistic endeavors...
did you know that the Teutonic
order having launched
the norther crusades against
the Baltic lands had the most
effective postal service?

mythology is not real?
     erm... given modern journalism?
hyper-inflated, seemingly
omnipresent, 24 / 7?
             3.42857142857 -
what's the golden ratio?
     1.61803398875...

         whatever comes out...
could be observed, or... another failed
dead end...

    but i've been given three alternative
time-scales to orientate myself
in this current, space,

the dinosaur period...
starting with a monkey...
  and then the big bang...

  if mortality could ever be crushed
by these restrictive proposals...
i can't complain...
but it's just a drag being reminded...
to be forced to believe something
i'm not going to either doubt or deny...
it's like the secular variant of
Islam... the non-believers who
joke about a theory, a theory...

mythology is the cut-off point
from history... it's still history,
but in a poetic variant...
after all... you shouldn't expect
empirical language from people
who knew that: only the poetic
expression mattered...
   at said circa...

            but mythology?
well... the stampeding journalism
treats history like an ill-informed
****** ******* (
late in the news, Manchester...
a woman with an IQ of ~50 was
abused)...
               if journalism can do
that to history, of... say...
only the past 100 years?

what can poetry do to mythology?
explore it, not deny it...
    if poetry kills of mythology
then...
              then poets are no better
than the journalists that have
killed off history...
  
          my Socratic observation
has been made simpler in the realm
of modern times...
i seem to know so much,
but the constant barrage of information,
the journalistic insomnia...
i know nothing...

                      again... not because of
liberal democracies of the western world
that history has ended...
   this 2nd wave of the journalistic endeavor...
you really think
that journalism means as much
as it did, at the time of
the film all the president's men?
hardly...
  that was journalism,
                what's deemed journalism
these days?
                           can i get back to you on
that one...
        i'm about to dive into mythology...
given you've already bypassed
most of history...
   and settled on dinosaurs,
       the magic ape
with a fungus parasite robbing it
off its free will and the big bang.
