"COMING DOWN"

by
Me, (Elaine), artwork by my husband Gilles

A man went up onto a mountain
and sat in a cave for many years
searching for the meaning of existance.
He was very stubborn about it.
He only ate sticks and bugs and such.
He thought that would help.
Many years went by
and the man only became crazy.
He began making pets out of the bugs
and was going to starve to death
without any meaning,
when an angel took pity on him
and broke the rules to speak to him.
"You don't have to act crazy anymore.
It doesn't help.
Your God has walked this earth.
You're not paying attention."
spoke the angel.
So the man said to his grasshopper,
Lawrence, "Let's go home, friend."
