Someone casually referred
To some new technology
Not even accomplished yet,
Still just a dream and a threat,
In terms of profundity—
It’ll be bigger than fire.
Oho. No it won’t. For one,
It comes much later than fire,
If it makes it here at all,
And for another, control
Of fire was the grandmother,
The last common grandmother
Of the rest. If this new tech
Burns you, it’s fire, you bet.
