Up There

I was out for a walk. I heard a throat clearing far above me. I ignored the sound. Again the throat cleared. And then again.

Finally I looked up and said, “What?”

The Sky said, “How come you’re ignoring me?”

I said that I wasn’t.

The Sky said, “You haven’t looked up once!”

I apologized and said that whenever I look up at the wondrous expanse of the sky, I become embarrassed at the so called accomplishments of my day.

The Sky said, “Really? You think I’m wondrous?”
