The Natural Course Of Things

at this conjuncture, i am intent on makin the best possible move.

the game is chess, it isn't checkers. but how i have always played checkers like chess. oh these games people play. so violently do we allow our games to poison the minds of others. why can't we just burn them? -no, we cannot grant such privileged expedience to the death! we must poison violently, but slowly and like cancerous vines they will grow, onto the next, into the next, surroundin the mess we already live in, eclipsin it even. hear the social laughter of the bourgeoisie resoundin through these evil vines we weave! what a beautiful infection!

once we have them all, we let it bake. we incubate their minds and it is no coincidence i say incubate because the mind is truly embryonic and we give it the warmth a hen would do her eggs. bake, bake, bake. when is it will my little darlings hatch, she asks? joyfully we see them formin, an eye, a heart, a brain in part. exactly how we wanted them. to see, to feel, to think -exactly how we wanted them.

who can be free from the poison? who can be free from the incubation? who can escape a sense of belongin so compellin, so deep, like sailors to their ship? ordained, prescribed and inescapable. teach me to sail, captain! i will sail exactly as you wish! -what good be a sailor if not to sail the seas? aye capt'n t'is me destiny -and when you tire, sailor what do you do then? i will never cease to sail capt'n! -and what will you tell your son, will you tell him you are a sailor? aye capt'n, his father sails and so shall he!

but it was not i who first asked to be a sailor.

but we poisoned you! -no, i am the taintless virgin vine! but we baked you! -no, i baked myself in more eggs than one!

capt'n, man overboard!

was he the one who said he didn't ask to be sailor?
