The idea that producing a string of nonsense syllables
while pointing toward an object
may cause that object to change
is common in children on the verge of language.
The idea that force exists only
as an interaction between objects
while an object
is a kind of kink
in a force field.
The idea that, if one survives X number of years,
one will live to see how things “turn out”
or even that things “end well.”

In the future we will face new problems.
How will we represent the variety of human types
once all the large animals are gone?
As sly as a mother;
as hungry as an orphan?
