Big Sky

I looked up at the sky. The sky said, “Have you got nothing better to do than stare at me?”

I said, “I’m in awe of your forevering.”

The sky began to rain on me. I still kept looking.

The sky said, “What’s it gonna take for you to get going?”

I said, “I guess when I get hungry.”

The sky started listing off foods like BBQ chicken, biscuits and gravy, and figs. I got hungry, but I remained eye entranced by the sky.

The hunger made me salivate and a drop of saliva fell from my mouth and hit an ant.

The ant said, “What the hell’s going on up there?”
