There was a time
mind you
when
the stars
were very interested
in
earth
She was blue
beautiful
shimmering
full of hope
and
clouds
while existent
often parted so the stars could
see
could look in
and
could
even
on occasion
watch birds
flying over the waves
It was a very exciting time
In the universe
rumors were rampant
that
someone
would come to earth
make it his
or
her
home
and
anoint
this little patch of rock
with
all the stuff growing on it
including a
true
remarkable
incomparable
garden
My friend
Christopher
tells me this in fact happened
that
someone did come here
that
this
planet
was
anointed
is anointed
and
we
just
need to remember that
and
act on it
He says that all
the
time
All the time
It drives some of us nuts
He even stands on street corners
some times
and
shouts about it
and
then
police officers
come
and
take
him
somewhere
for awhile
He always comes back
and
says what he was saying before
and
finally
everyone
just about
most everyone
ignors him
feels pity for
him that
he is so nuts
Should we tell them he’s right?
Do
we
dare?
