FIRE
I might just as well as make the best use of the time and
Bow-drill wood and light a fire;
Join glasses and trap the sunlight and add kindling to the bundling
tinder;
Ask the dragon to teach me how to fire out heart’s anger;
Learn the Chinese magician’s trick with magnesium and start
fireworks;
Find Prometheus and ask him to help me start a civilization –
Then again,
I might just as well as make the best use of the time,
While waiting for a spark from you –
My match!
