Once upon a time there was a man
who was bored enough to start gardening.
There was little else in his life, so one day
he began to dig. There was no plan or
purpose, only the push of the shovel
and a heavy load of soil to add to the pile.
After a long long time, the pile had
become a mountain and the hole was a valley
where very little sun fell. Still the man
kept digging, hoping to think of the ideal
place for some flowers and vegetables.
And perhaps a rockery.
But no idea came, and with each shovel load
he fell slowly into the earth.
