Flattened curves (Prompt 6)

Only once have I spoken with someone
who truly seemed to believe the world is
flat

With great sincerity he spoke of pie-crust
geology keeping oceans in – like unbaked
quiche

When asked what he saw looking over
the edge – ‘clouds. no idea where the rain
falls.’

Sensing our dubious looks he suggested
going to see for ourselves, but Expedia was
booked

Apparently you can’t get there from here
let alone theological implications – where is
hell?

While I put little stock in pie theory, I can
say a good cherry with sugared crust is
heavenly.
