The ape reviewed the Homo Sapiens that wasA fistful of matter seemed to matter so muchWhy then blow it up in search for other matterHis sun had brilliantly thought he was the sunThen other skulls came telling of other sunsA bearded man dropped a lightweight petalAnother’s fruit explored the physical worldA rainbowy microcosm appeared with [...]
