the last of any lineage

carries a fatalism that liberates

one from historical expectation

as to be the totality of all


the previous personages

the absolute representative

of its blood's traits

even if each generation


is a diminishment

of the initial spark

the original gleam some memory

in a Universal Mind


oh the pity on that last of all one

they don't call it the descent of man for nothing...
