What can these be but
the playthings of a mad God
who made us to build them for him?
Imagine Neanderthal man
glimpsing with this vision in his head:
a flash of city at night,
all motion and light.
He cannot tell what it means,
he has had a poetic vision,
all motion and light,
A sea of lights,
he cannot unravel the images
that land in his mind,
like birds, swift,
unreachable birds.
Thoughts, memories, visions
are the same to him,
a scary hallucination.
