THE ROCK

You are a rock. They are temporary.

You have existed for four billion years. Longer than the oceans. Longer than anything that has ever looked at you and thought about you.

These cavemen have been here for about six minutes. They are chipping at you. You are unbothered.

[ SPACE ] — Be Heavy.

That is your only move. That is enough.
