FRAGMENETS OF HALF ACTIONS: dreams as islands in an ocean of
forgetfulness
Premises[edit source]
Evolutionary psychology is founded on several core premises.
1. The brain is an information processing device, and it produces behavior in
response to external and internal inputs.[4][14]
2. The brain's adaptive mechanisms were shaped by natural and sexual
selection.[4][14]
3. Different neural mechanisms are specialized for solving problems in
humanity's evolutionary past.[4][14]
4. The brain has evolved specialized neural mechanisms that were designed
for solving problems that recurred over deep evolutionary time,[14]
giving modern humans stone-age minds.[4]
5. Most contents and processes of the brain are unconscious; and most
mental problems that seem easy to solve are actually extremely
difficult problems that are solved unconsciously by complicated
neural mechanisms.[4]
Human psychology consists of many specialized mechanisms, each sensitive
to different classes of information or inputs. These mechanisms combine to
produce manifest behavior.[14]-WIKIPEDIA ON EVOLUTIONARY
PSYCHOLOGY
6. The brain is an information processing device, and it produces behavior in
response to external and internal inputs.[4][14]
AS I TRIED TO REMEMBER THE FRAGMENTS
FROM A LONG NIGHT OF SLEEP…
AND THE END OF THE SUMMER
I can remember points like island jutting from
General amnesia
Trying
Tried
Now as I see linen shirts as a type of ‘arrival’ for
Older guys
Streets
Holidays that speak the end of the summer
Productive
Sputtering
Moving
Caring
I remember
Positioning an airstream trailer
In the grass lot of
What looked like my grandfather’s 19th century estate?
So that my girlfriend and myself
Could make love
Before the reunion came
Thinking of matchbooks I do now see
And thinking that those with wonderful
Talismanic designs
Are those that wish to survive the momentary
Pleasure of eating at expensive places.
You can stick these around your bookcases
And they randomly trigger
Memories
Like the theater I visited
Again
That I had my piece produced at
In the city
I thought that it would be destroyed
But it wasn’t…
I thought that photos would give it life
And that
Meritocracy
Was a skill of making your luck through hard work.
Darwin’s legacy continues in the
Admiration of the people of
What it takes to survive.

7. The brain's adaptive mechanisms were shaped by natural and sexual
selection.[4][14]
As the ‘family’ showed up
I couldn’t tell whose family it was…
It wasn’t completely mine
But maybe the dead
All those old people
Admiring the babies
Or something likes that
They weren’t her family.
The old wanted some sort of
Connection with the babies
That started to arrive
All the attention
As if what you do is merely potlatch for the babies.
And the old-near-dead.
Creative destruction
There
In the green spread of Wisconsin rolling hills
A ways outside of Chicago.
Now I consider those in the middle
Trapped
By the repression of their own actions…stillborn ego birth…
And those on the east coast trapped by an admiration of bald survival
Desire is good
The dick as a compass point is not the worst way to navigate
Even as some female elders might poo poo some big breasted choice
That you made.
It is a type of reserved jealously on their part.
8. Different neural mechanisms are specialized for solving
problems in humanity's evolutionary past.[4][14]
Where do these lie? Inside? Peel outward
Out…to the world like a pitcher plant flower?
Regret? Some heartbreak pain? Even revenge?
Dissuasions to the tribe to make some
Bad deal?
Punishment is important evolutionarily…
But the web has grown
So that we might all be punishers…
Nobody making
Forging
Chopping
Heating
Eating (how it amazed me that on a good
Sunday these animals had to eat every four
To five hours.)
Who has the feeling
To make
And provide
Something beautiful…?
Well designed…
Or is it promiscuity
Of the male
Nest building of the female?
And the innocent annoyance of the child?
All is driven by the subconscious.

9. The brain has evolved specialized neural mechanisms that were designed
for solving problems that recurred over deep evolutionary time,[14]
giving modern humans stone-age minds.[4]
So it is primitive…. so it is also…by inference
Sophisticated
To recall your dreams…
Read them
Not as portents
To the cave man
But paths to take
To spread out to the future
Even in the Thanatos of
Certain static exhaustion.
10. Most contents and processes of the brain are unconscious; and most
mental problems that seem easy to solve are actually extremely
difficult problems that are solved unconsciously by complicated
neural mechanisms.[4]
To navigate
As I hear the cicadas to navigate
I must half-know what went on inside the past
Of the boss, the lover, the wife, the partner…
By any extension
You must not just know the
Logic on the prosthetic surface
But
The deep and turbulent past…beneath
Aside
Through….
Explaining what
Women destroy the nest…sometimes…
Why soldiers are capable
Of base atrocities…
Why bosses hit the ceiling
Of glass…
Why lovers withhold…sometimes…
Why you need
To recall your dream
