Go up to a stranger or someone you know.
Ask them to play Rock, Paper, Scissors,
and more than likely they’ll do it with you.
What for, they may ask? Ask them if they
remember who it was that first taught them
to play the game? No one alive that I know
will be able to say. It’s just one of those
hand-is-quicker-than-the-eye games humans
tend to play when there are choices to be
made. It’s all too silly I know. Wonder what
Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon played before
paper or scissors were invented? It was too
early to flip a coin—heads I win; tails you
lose. Way back when, see this, my club is
bigger than yours may have come into play.
You’ll do what I’ll tell you to do. Capisci?
For a brief moment in time the world became
a more peaceful place when paper an scissors
came to be. Then unfortunately, spears and
arrows came along, and everything went to hell.
We digress from there.
This is what happens when you have a world
of time to preoccupy the mind.
