Dinosaurs and Asteroids

There is much said about the dinosaurs’ lack of information about the asteroid which largely wiped them from the earth.

Ostensibly, they had no idea what happened, although, to be fair, in every visual representation of the scene, the brightly burning ball of the asteroid tearing through the landscape always has a retinue of alert dinosaurs looking into the sky with a foreboding comprehension.

They seem, at least in our attempt to imagine the event, to know what is about to cause their demise.

About Barry Pomeroy

I had an English teacher in high school many years ago who talked about writing as something that people do, rather than something that died with Shakespeare. I began writing soon after, maudlin poetry followed by short prose pieces, but finally, after years of academic training, I learned something about the magic of the manipulated word.
