So why no posts for the last two weeks. Well it has been because I haven't been writing and that is because I have been lazy. I even turned in an older poem for my workshop the other day (with some edits). I just haven't been writing new stuff. But I have been forced to produce something new (not really, I bet I could have gotten away with using something older, but that probably wouldn't have been as good) for my Lyric poetry class. We have a draft of form poem due on tomorrow (Friday). I decided that I would use the sonnet form (although in retrospect it probably wasn't a great idea so I might expand it to a longer free verse poem) and I used a concept I came with when I was writing "Evolutionary Poem". Just as a warning this is the most I have ever cursed in a poem. I don't know why I just liked the title line and it kind of spawned the rest. I also want to change the title but I just can't think of anything for that now, so I'll probably change that after I get my comments back from tomorrow.
Fuck you, Darwin
Fuck you, Darwin and your damn theories
about how we came to be and how we
should be reproducing. All your queries
into the human existence will be
answered, but do you really want to know
that my blind eyes are worthless and that my
my useless brain is unthinkably slow.
This is my evolution. This is why
I say fuck you Darwin. There is more to
life then just the right combination of
parents and their genetic make up. You
have all the shit about the soul and love.
The unequivocal answer to this
enigma is that life simply exists.
