PROLOGUE: Ever since timeless
immeasurable coalescence of consciousness
viz wrought higher thought propensity,
and bequeathed rudimentary tools of then-nascent
malevolent (though unbeknownst
to themselves, innocent looking,
knee-high primates would attempt
a futile declaration of independence,
nonetheless their biological constitution
bound them to chromosomal amendments),
would affix the seal of disapproval
alluding to the archaic contraband arms trade
(those most primitive hominids forged
sticks and stones as defensive means),
yet unwittingly, jarringly, and alarmingly –
in due millenniums got cursed
with their own demagogic demise.
The prism of hindsight allows, enables and to
the power of Googleplex from those nattering nabobs
of…nature scant survivors to parse and
piece together an anthropological spectrum analysis.
We can advantageously, yet delicately isolate
(much more easily than those bipedal millennial
lowbrow Swedish, nor wee gin, and Dane hush
knuckle dragging forebears of contemporary
residents of Lake Woebegone) that roamed
vast expanses and virginal plains on the prowl
for seedy stems, rootstock, and grubs that formed
a zigzag pattern of trial and error as per what
did not kill them got the shortish brutes (yet
to attain the realm noble savages).
These early primates rode a figurative and
veritable zip line toward domination upon
the healthy terra firmae and unstintingly
planted the spores for vast generational
realms spelling beasty boy modern-day
prairie home companions, who accidentally
stumbled upon the long-lost culinary delicacy
earning the equivalent of Michelin awards
for high demand best-selling powder milk biscuits.
Inconclusive questions still abound
as per how one wimpy, scruffy,
and an outlandishly kooky
band of ambling ape-like creatures
attained the rank and file of most
dominant, hogtied, and lukewarm
pygmies strode right topmost

One school of thought ascertains highly

This hypothesis ordains a sudden and

A brush stroke of chance graced
one great descendant of a monkey’s uncle
(christened Matthew Scott Harris – who just
by beginners luck linkedin with all in his family
inside a radiation-proof arched bunker)
with empirical and unique wisdom – at least
in comparison with other feral and furry
jungle loving spoonful sized swinging creatures.
No matter whether one attributes bytes
of divine intervention, a mere crapshoot
in the dice throw of fate, the scattershot
fits, and starts with Darwinian survival
of the fittest brought an undeniable net result,
which in toto spelled light years away from
complete and utter extinction of a biological
an experiment that went seriously awry.
Over the course of millennial generations,
a combination of beginners’ dumb luck,
coevals of circumstance and happenstance
proffered the L'Enfant terrible civilization
with the subtle trappings of preponderant
transcendence and eminent domain over
all the other life forms great and small.
This godlike domination and mantle to rule
with an iron maiden fist would eventually
and in short order cook to a crisp the supposed
ribs from the cosmic creator.
Mushroom became a hot commodity and
premium especially as invisible shackles
proved to chain these prehensile beasts
acquired, revealed in unbridled power.
This inimitable coterie of chest thumping missing
links into deluded them into owning a
fools’ paradise. A parabolic trajectory
arced elliptically toward chaos of lex Lucifer
at that atrocious, nefarious, and heinous explosion.
An innocent, innocuous and subtle series
of incremental transitions fostered physiognomy
of arboreal mammals to climb, crawl, shimmy
and slide across the various and sundry terrain.
