The Flesh Meeting Circuitry

Evolution spent the whole twenty-four hours
of yesterday
going over its notes of the entire history

Latest statistics indicate a decline so sublime
it might go unnoticed
to those in posession of some things important

Taste and touch and smell are receding
in favor of sight and hearing
and Evolution doesn't carry excess baggage

Not if it can help it
mutated away bit by bit
and now byte by byte
and now byte by byte

Evolution has forecasted a future more sterile
hallucinations in vision and hearing
are more convienient and interesting

Than a need to touch anything
Than a need to taste everything
and as the world smells more unpleasant all the time

there's no use for that sense anymore

Evolution's decided a number of things
but not arbitrarily
No, it's been listening to impending needs

Evolution doesn't drag the unecessary traits along
as environments change
it makes the adjustments gently, over time

Plug in and dial in and the electrical lives
might want it all
but Evolution doesn't hang on to sentiment

Not if it can help it
mutated away bit by bit
and now byte by byte
and now byte by byte...
