i cannot continue with such insidious memory

i cannot continue with such insidious memory – like yesterday all my past laid out before me – all regrets dropped upon me like a thousand heated ingots of iron – hell erupted from a serenity i had attained once – a clash of past and future at a central point of my present – i want it all – I don’t want to get old – I don’t want to die – I want to gain wisdom – I want to live for ever – I want my transhumanist future to land now – I want extropia – no more small platitude of ego centric confusion – I don’t want to raise a child – but I have to now – I fought the law of the universe and the law won – no transhuman condition – no extropian future – eternity will not be my path – someday I will die – and no more shall I be – today will not be for ever – but the spark in my mind says to try – transcend this mortal coil – do not go gentle into that good night of Dylan Thomas – be in love with a rock and roll world – ignore youth culture – hammer out your own drum beat and create the world you want – fire the engines of creation and carry the good fight to end – rally the mind – destroy the demons of entropy and no longer feel the spiral of history – the power for life resides within – dynamic creation – fuck entropy – negativity – depression – cloudiness – clarify the lens of the soul – foresee the future brightly – pursue the endless life promised in the real – transcend – transcend – transcend
