Existentialists do it better pointlessly.

t00thpasteface:

cell bio professor closed out today’s lecture on free-radical oxidation in mitochondria and programmed cell death by saying “you’ve probably all seen those commercials for fruit juice that says it’s got antioxidants, which are said to prevent this sort of thing from happening, or at least slow it down. well, they don’t work. this is an inevitable fact of life— this process that lets us live is also the thing that kills us, and it’s why all of us will die someday. there’s no escaping that. it’s been with us since the dawn of eukaryotic cells; our pact with mitochondria is to the death. anyway, enjoy the rest of your friday, and remember, exam four is next week!”

Love him my new fave

On a grave

In a graveyard

There are stones of

various shapes and sizes

I find them with my feet

I touch them

Not to be untoward

But they are, kind of,

Uninterrupted, uninterruptable

By anything,

and that’s a little sad

sad that my feet change shape

but the stones, and the graves

do not have time to

and all the things I didn’t do,

     couldn’t do

all the things that we sufficiently

      call things

they make me a weary liaison

to take from the underground

  and bring to the feet

to the footsteps, to dirt and 

all things common.
