CREATION

at first there was nothing is misleading:

at first there was dog and cat.

genderless, they ate biscuits and gravy

and toyed with one another

(through space pranks and other means)

until they got bored of their charades

and decided to create.

dog said "there should be somewhere to play"

and cat didn't see much wrong there

so dog's teeth enlarged and hardened

and that was rock.

cat said "i need my space" and sought to separate planes into plains

and dog was cautious but understood that everyone has their wants and needs

so cat's claws uprooted rock

and those were mountains.

dog said "i'm thirsty"

and cat also got thirsty sometimes

so dog's dimples concussed rock,

and dog's veins tore through mountains,

and dog's bladder spilled out into the newly minted world

and those were lakes, rivers, and seas.

cat said "i'd like to climb"

and dog, though thoroughly less dexterous, saw the fun in that

so cat's whiskers grew leaves and branches

and those were trees.

dog and cat loved their new world,

lonely as it was,

because they had each other

and the rocks and the trees.
