For the Luddites.
A caveman sits and carves his words into stone,
Bent over a stone tablet,
Sweat drips from his furrowed brow as he scrambles to collect his ideas,
He focuses them through his chisel in a panic.
A Modern Man approaches,
“You know, we set words into fluid now.”
The caveman’s brow retains its furrow as he addresses Modern Man,
“How?”
“It’s a kind of magic that we call numbers. They change.”
The caveman is scared,
He returns to his chisel,
Determined to prove the insanity of the Modern Man,
A madman who sets his words in fluid rather than stone.
The two part ways,
Headed in opposite directions.
