Caveman

Liner Notes

#storycube

This was a Story Cube Challenge. The words were: dice, parachute, bowl of something hot, and the action was burying something.
I got the words yesterday and had fun putting the pieces together.
Thanks to @darcistrutt for the challenge.

Caveman

I’m a caveman
but I don’t know it
living in a hole in a boulder seems normal to me
and my few simple tools are perfectly suited
to do what I do
the paintings on my walls
are of every little thing that I see

And I worry
about sabertooth tigers
there’s sabertooth tigers out there somewhere
looking for a meal
So I run like the Dickens
throw a spear and try to stick it in a water buffalo
that would be enough you know
cut in little pieces for a season or so

I had dream one night
I was high above the ground
hanging from a cloud
looking all around

and that big volcano over there
was just a little tiny bowl of fire
as I drifted right by ‘er
I watched the smoke climb higher

I’m a caveman
amidst so many unknowns
but time will bury my bones
under dust and daily debris
I’m a caveman
but i don’t know it
no future archaeologists yet
to look back at me
