Hot thick air


One cannot, or should not
argue with Stupid.
Or is that a bad word-too-
the argument proceeds as follows:
Mountains may-be moved one grain at a time,
Rocks don’t roll,
alone, but may-be take a tumble
for a slide.

Downhill,
they had brain damage, self-induced,
how to be mad from up here?
It is supposed to be sad, but they are not
missing
what they never had. 
They can no longer help themselves

along. I wish I could, sometimes
I am livid with stupidity,
it makes me mad.

Before I recall-I predict.
It was made-up
of all short-term memories,
cluster-plucked

for the littlest of minds
for the tiniest of bodies,
for the biggest disappointment
of intellectual potential or IP,
as in A.I., a.k.a. Artificially Inherited traits.

I’ll take it from here-
I have built my own family, twisted the DNA
around counter-wise.
A mutation is the adaptation of one
alone.

 “The decrease in instincts which are hostile and arouse mistrust—and that is all our ‘progress’ amounts to—represents but one of the consequences attending the general decrease in vitality: it requires a hundred times more trouble and caution to make so conditional and late an existence prevail. Hence each helps the other; hence everyone is to a certain extent sick, and everyone is a nurse for the sick. And that is called ‘virtue.’ Among men who still knew life differently—fuller, more squandering, more overflowing—it would have been called by another name: ‘cowardice’ perhaps, ‘wretchedness,’ ‘old ladies’ morality.'”
