"Boredom murders the heart of our age
While sanguinary creeps take the stage
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page"
Instead of more intellectual pursuits, like say, reading, we just go for what's entertaining. Teenagers are more likely to hit a Marilyn Manson concert than learn something about the world:
"Masking vapor trails from Mercury
For a killer on Umbria who crippled birch mares
Now briars replace their old cotton limbs
Who will tell? I mean, would it make a difference?
Look, metal flower petal
Tears do not even appear in the Myopic Mirror"
I have to wonder if these vapor trails are the same ones in many conspiracy theories, also perpetuated by idiots who wouldn't know a birch from a briar.
The word is "prescient," as in knowing the future.
