Imagine being the first cave monkey
to obsessively rub two sticks together.
Imagine your surprise when
you summon the unknown.
A force out of nowhere.
A small, angry sun.
Might be hundreds of thousands of years
before you imagine the word “fire.”
A hundred thousand more
before you come up with an explanation.
In your monkey mind,
this force did not exist previously.
What OTHER forces still don’t exist?
How can they help?
What can they burn?
