OLVIDO [written 1.15.2010]



the human condition is akin to a bad case of tuberculosis. add the nebulous description of “AMERICAN” to such an equation and you have, thrashing virulently, an adequate account of what some experts describe as “irredeemably screwed”. 
despite popular opinion the “AmericanDream” is a scummy tide pool, unknowingly awaiting the inevitable purge. flushing everything out into a black depthless sea of willful resignation.
 indifference would be so much simpler than belief. 
let us all take a knee and ejaculate our hopes into the morass of the “AMERICAN DREAM”. let us forget what the word spirituality means, and throw our collective stones at the glass ceiling of our faith. let us turn our grey-filmed eyes of diligence toward something shiny and useless, like…say…a monstrance. let us take everything at face value, until the rifles are pointed directly at our temples.
and, speaking of temples…. 
you want to measure intelligence, like it was an ingredient in some tenuous recipe of the human condition? you want to quantify some vague equation of intellect versus fundamental instinct? you want to see what it means when the numbers are found to be as ham-fisted as a consensus of popular belief?
[feel free to insert your own answers here…


just when you thought it was safe to go back into the gene-pool….


the gene-pool turns out to be a tide-pool, full of aberration and variables. scum and uncertainty. might as well rely upon our skills to win the day. oh, wait…we have none. unless you count thievery, subterfuge and skullduggery.
