I float outside of my body, a dermal prison dented into the ground, doomed to never fly and never float and never travel beyond the sound. My brain moves faster than a high speed train, cars in the fast lane, the pounding of the rain, sane, sane-- I've gone insane. It's infuriating this plastic mind, soul, body, all disposable and all utterly insignificant. I know the fate of history and the destiny of humanity-- we are temporary, a dream stuck on a floating grain in the misty seas of the cosmos, swirling towards a black death darker than any night or any universe could be. We are a fleeting thought caught within the arms and tendrils of the galaxy, draining into an immense super massive black hole-- the drain at the bottom. We are accidents, sad ones, at that. The stars formed randomly from the collisions and crashes of millions of atoms, perhaps themselves the containers of still sadder and more pathetic universes. From this early crib Sol and his brothers drifted throughout the blackness of space, most dying and the mediocre remaining. This is the fate of humans and indeed all of existence: that the interesting the beautiful the bizarre and the intense shall all perish while the average shall survive, stuck on their tracks and predetermined paths, lines laid out by the random assortment of atoms, of particles of the refuse of the universe. We formed from the cosmos' **** an explosion erupted from the backend of existence and out flowed reds and greens helium and hydrogen and burning water. As the planets formed from the wake of the exhaust and the stars migrated to their final resting places, the elements continued bumping and colliding and crashing until green ran the continents of countless and insignificant planets, residents sticking roots down and extending towards the mediocre light of a wholly average Sun. From this green and blue sea sprang forth a multitude of parasites, feeding off the grasses and the ferns, the flowers and the moss, warring and ******** and laying their own universes down out of their backends. We are the **** of **** that ***** out **** to power our **** and allow us to **** which in turns ***** the **** to **** It's all **** Existence is **** Existence is **** I am a dream in the mind of one floating off into my dimension, moving faster than sound, light, actions and existence to cross the cosmic walls and climb the galactic ivy to reach out and say, "I was here. I mattered." I wish I could comfort them in my arms to pet them and tell them it's all okay, that they matter, but I know the fate of history and the destiny of humanity-- existence is the most interesting thing we can do, and even that is based on mediocre ****
