Today's word is "echt" ... real; authentic; genuine.
Talk
Some sort of snake. "Echt story,"
he said. "Trust me," he said. "I know
things," he said. And they looked
right into his snakey eyes, and said,
"Hand me that fruit, please."
So easy on the ears; such a smooth
sound. So inspiring, and hopeful. So
very convincingly voiced. (That forked
tongue was a little strange though.)
And they listened, and ate, and fell.
But they did not become like God.
In fact, ever after they wondered what
happened. And why it was so
difficult to become they people
they always dreamed they could be.
