THE WORLD THAT NEVER WAS

Before the beginning had begun, before anything was done, before there was a moon or sun, a night or noon, a winter or a spring, before there was anything, there were tons of nothing in empty airless air.

What could be, what should be, what cannot be in this world that does not exist is a creator to create, thinkers to contemplate, minds to complicate, complex sex, a master plan, man, meat for nobody alive to eat, bees, an ocean breeze, prostitutes or birthday suits, Dubya jokers or Wall Street brokers, tax, six pack, Iraq, evolution, revolution or a Texas execution.

There are no condoms to prevent infections or impregnations, no diapers, no windshield wipers, no snipers, no gripers, no cattle or a baby rattle, no Constitution, no solution to non-pollution, no chicken bones, no grunts or snorts, no jockey shorts, no warming of a non-existent planet.

Will there ever be a world to be? We'll just have to wait and see.
