prehistoric foot cover
animal skins cured and stretched over
easily injured feet
allowing human exploration
from out the jungle carpet
what was the clue
what was the impetus
to figure out the necessity
to discover the process
perhaps the maker was the first to notice
to devise
to pamper
to protect
when walking over unfriendly terrain
allowing further exploration and
domination of a planet
kudos to the unknown crafter of sandals
the technological advance of their time
