#shoulda been

* over that vista lies a mountainous range cradled by a cotton-candy cloud bank  wafting permanently beneath the apex of its tallest. *

there, our celestial Savior is in repose  after a particularly trying epoch

these humans & their propensity  to eat things unbecoming   came back to bite them, literally.

*

it took years & all twelve steps of one of their programs to arrive at a point where they resigned themselves to their true nature - fruitarians;

& decided to accept the things they could not change. *

3000 years later,  finding yourself driving on highway 6 west to the sea,  a glance to your right -

& though blocked  by verdant flora, fauna & aforementioned clouds *

if you squint approaching the mountain bank - you'll see the shapely top of one of two feet crossed, protruding toward the sky & on it - to the left, they say - is the big toe of God.
