The Sample

A longer example of the writing method i mentioned in the previous article

We did not save the world

We did not save each other

In the historical records they call us the sexless generations

Plural

The ones who got left holding the bag

We cannabalized each other in the next decades…

Cannibalized? Well we didn’t really eat each other

Mostly.

I suppose it doesn’t much matter now

I left this message to the genetic testing services

(They said it was part of some compassionate care initiative)

anyway, the company that used my dna to make kids with it

Children i could never hope to take care of and children i didn’t really consent to making

Am i really even anything to you? Now that they can edit all my bad parts out

All the stuff that made me drink or smoke or fuck the wrong people

But also all the stuff that made me able to somehow survive what happened…

…I wonder,

what do you do in the future?

Do you have feelings? Do you go to work? Do you have feelings about going to work?

Are you having an alright time in the moon or wherever they let you live?

When you pray, who do you pray to?

Im talking into an app in a lab

They got me on some okaymeds that make me see a bit funny

Like i swear there’s a real tall man with an animal head and he’s dancing

Somewhere he’s dancing and i can almost see him across the room

On a flat mountain

There’s ten of them, all different animal heads

They just keep dancing

Like it’s the only thing they got to do
