ENVIABLE
Ever since the first cries were heard on the earth
we have had a finger in the pie. We drew the heads
of oxen in the caves before aiming at their hearts, grasped
the plough firmly and felt the forces we could harness
when we stuck our palm into cascading water. The wheel
rolled along with the terrain, we studied the ice that split
rock and the atoms that smashed reason. We taught ourselves
mastery of fire, earth and air, and send scouts out
on missions behind the rim of our own atmosphere.
We encompass the whole universe, but have never gained
a satisfactory explanation as to why fish chose
to live in the sea.
