everything falls into place at the right time. the sun
comes and casts its golden rays upon the orchards.
the apples are red and ripe as they always are. no
locusts approach the fields. the world is warm and
gentle. a child learns to cry with laughter. skinned
knees mean nothing on the playground. no one ever
grows up. no one ever has to. the world spins eternally
and the night comes with radiance. nothing has ever
died and never will. the fire will never burn out. the
rivers never creep from the banks. a dinosaur reclines
on a rock facing the clouds. magnolia petals fall at its
feet. it never goes hungry, neither does anything. we
are always satisfied. flowers bloom in the morning. the
air is clean and fragrant. it is easy to breathe. the grass
turns sweet in the dusk frame. we build houses and they
last. everything stays. everything stays.
Fin.
