In the beginning was the Word. And the word was: “Ow!”
Followed very closely by: “Who keeps moving the damn coffee table?”
“It would be easier, my Lord, if we could see where we were going?”
A sigh. “I suppose you’re right Michael. Stand back and avert your eyes.”
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
God clapped his hands together in satisfaction. “Much better. Don’t know why I didn’t do that sooner.” He took a step to his left and sank up to his knee in water, ruining his robes in the process. Looking around he saw that he’d stepped off a side table and that everything was either submerged or floating in water that stretched as far as he could see. “Well that explains why the coffee table keeps moving around.

Literature
Domestic
gnashing teeth and wild horse eyes
quiver skin in the morning
the nettles sting my spine.
where is my open field,
the tongues of trumpet swans,
my dew covered courtyard
with the willow tree?
Literature
The Neverending Monologues
They bicker, shouting at impregnable walls.
Literature
Shores.
drunk on lakewater,
parallel shores promise things
you'll have to swim for.

~looFsydoboN linked me to this piece, and I have to say, the first line had me hooked. I was expecting the whole sentiments that followed about the creation of the universe. But, what I got was a piece that exceeded my expectations and even tickled my funny bone. Well done, and a very late congrats on the DLD pick of the day.
