Words trigger parts of the mind into action. Such actions could be physical, some could be purely in the mind.

Giza triggered a memory. A pleasant memory.

Artists. Slaves. Royalty. Humans. Engineering. Construction. Life. Death.

They saw what they wanted to see

Beasts of burden straining under the lash

Still, time for a smile, some laughter, food, sleep

much like watching the rising and setting of the sun

 

Waters flowed both on the land and in the sky

Such was sweet

Fronds and grass

watching the brick makers slosh

the king sigh

children play

…

so much watching the living live

and die

…

 

They saw

they saw what they wanted to see

but they never knew it was they being watched by something so simple;

spider in a web.
