Isn’t the eagle a little
Unnecessary?
I mean,
Maui did it too,
And no one gnaws
His liver.

You know as well as I do
That my gift is more a curse
Than anything.

So I gave them fire.
Yes, they can bake bread,
And that offends your
Sensibilities,
But they’ll burn their daughters
Too,
And soon, their smoking world
Will smother them.
