I/O : god's hobby nobody can get into heaven: it's empty,  everyone stepped outside to take in the light and somebody  left the key behind, a  soft  click  announcing  the beginning of things, cunning lockpicks  fashioned  over millions of years  will  get  us  back  in  and  that  will  be  the  end again! then,     One   fine   evening                          someone  will   suggest  a   promenade ,on  the  clouds  outside, and    with   a  knowing   grin          inside,  we  shall   step           into  the  fire . ©Peter A.
