Peek over the edge of the flat world. What do you see?
Angels keep their car keys at the ready.
Demons have their motorcycle helmets.
Giant packs of bubble gum, a mattress-sized deck of cards for Celestial Solitaire,
receipts for Buy-1 Get-1 Half Off in the Afterlife all gather dust under us.
Single socks and dry-erase markers lay next to bills and spare change.
If ever your angel or demon needs something, just peek over the edge of the World.
My darling Steve chimed in:
Maple syrup has run over the edges of our Flat Earth, just like it flows over flat pancakes.
Look closely, and huge rats are underneath, licking up all of the sweet gooeyness.
They’re fat and diabetic, so don’t worry about them chasing us.
Besides, they’ll probably start swimming in circles because pancakes need milk.
Love that opening, it’s great to picture those angels with their car keys and demons with their motorcycle helmets.
