Stars

I look up at the stars and sometimes I feel like a caveman--

How can you say that? You have no idea how cavemen felt.

--I feel like a caveman--

Nobody can ever know how cavemen reacted to anything, let alone the stars.

--LIKE A CAVEMAN WHO KNOWS WHEN HE LOOKS OUT ON THE OCEAN, THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IS THE DUG-OUT CANOE.

You could have phrased it better.

YOU could have waited until I finished, instead of interrupting. You're too impatient.

I look at the stars the way cavemen looked upon the ocean.

See? I didn't interrupt you, did I? I didn't weigh-in halfway through. I waited until you made your point.

Did you think I was being rude?

Yes. Sometimes, I think you are.

(we walked on in silence)
