Lucy: Lost and Found in Ethiopia

Lucy: Lost and Found in Ethiopia


We can celebrate who we are
With our thumbs up.
Ah, that we have thumbs to use.
It’s the way we began
With flakes and hand axes
Around fires.

In the once upon a time of stories,
The magic of a gathering creates
Dancing diamonds of light
On walls in old caves far in the past.
Now we go back to ancient times
On computers.
We connect right now,
Right in the exact moment
Of finishing a sentence.
We chatter our way with keys,
And leap into the virtual reality
Of it all,
Of the desert, of the dig,
Of Lucy, found
