built from a skull fragment
the size of a nickel,
was found
somewhere
in Africa
a hundred or two hundred
years ago, he, or she,
or possibly them,
had a large forehead.
very large,
with a prominent nose,
and enormous eye
sockets.
from the fragment of bone,
they recreated
a whole
person.
he wasn't well read
they said,
no schooling, no witticisms
were found
carved onto
cave walls.
he may have been married,
with children,
but was he happy?
they aren't sure.
life was hard back then,
no transportation
to speak of,
no coffee breaks, no television
to wile away
the hours.
clothes were hand made
out of
wooly mammoths skins,
and they used aloe
leaves for diapers.
not to mention that
fire
was non existent, which
resulted
in a lot of shivering and head
colds,
especially with the large
foreheads,
indicating enormous
sinus cavities.
