Upright, naked, prowls the plain 

An alien race, self-conscious brain 

An ember born of sparking flint 

A revolution with no hint 

No light to shed where it may lead 

'Tis here I hone my guilt, my greed 

My sisters venture north, east, west 

While clasping newborns to their breast 

And ripping meat from rigid bone 

A cavegirl with a cellphone 

*

The beast collapses, breathes its last

We fall upon it, kill the past

Eternity of hunger, fear

We dared, now share, grow ever nearer 

Cling together, fight and flee

We feed and fuck, I speak and see

While way beyond our understanding 

Stalks unseen a monster hand in 

Hand with demon seed unsown 

A cavegirl with a cellphone 

* 

Flickering flames dispel the night

We huddle, cuddle, till the sunlight

Frightens off the circling pack

He hunts, I gather, hurry back

To him. Yet waiting in a gloomy

Future perfect secret room he 

Lies, a smooth, sweet-smelling creature

Svelte sophisticated teacher 

Anthropo-scenic beauty once unknown

To a cavegirl with a cellphone

* 

I accept my lot, my life-long mate

And cosy cave to decorate

Existing in simplicity

With fur and fire for luxury

Yet out there in the ether

Hides a snarling monster neither

Of us has the genes to beat

Clicks are all it takes to meet

Now I'm found out, thrown out, living on my own

A cavegirl with a cellphone
