power


by corinne delmonico




an angel came down from heaven

and skimmed along the surface of the earth

the first thing it met was a butterfly

the angel was quite enchanted by the bright colors (pink, green and red) of the butterfly

and waved happily to the butterfly

and the butterfly waved back

next the angel met a cat

how do you like this planet?, the angel asked

it is all right, i guess, the cat answered

you can catch a nice nap here once in a while

then the angel met a dog

it asked the dog how it liked the planet

well enough, said the dog

i just wish there were more round bouncing objects i could chase

the angel encountered an elephant

the elephant, too, professed satisfaction with the planet

but wished there were more human crops and gardens for it to stomp

the angel them met a flower and asked it the same question

but before the flower could answer

it was eaten by a giraffe
