BOGUS so You say gods devoured the earth and the fires (fiery) rumbled beneath.           That so, khaki Jones? Sometimes I think you really say they roared sometimes gasped and sometimes you say they even ran away.                     So which is it? You say people ran around and the gods ran after them or is it - so say you - that the people ran after and the gods around?           When did it all stop revolving? The monsters with their scales stomped and left their marks and the lava came up from a pipeline           (the miner says he made it) and somehow it turned to fire and someone made it into fireworks that we loved - other than the little kid holding his stuffed reptile toy, who cried a little then.           He felt dizzy.           He'd been on a ferris wheel           but it stopped in mid-air           way before the spark show. The show was highlighted by the guy with the moustache and toupee, called Elvis with Wings, singing Sinatra on the sidelines, while in the center was a circus                     (or maybe Odysseus)                     (or maybe both). The little boy asked his mother if the rings were always there and she told him the gods lived on earth once, one time, so that's an answer, and she clapped for the spectacle. The little boy felt dizzy and didn't like fire, so he grew up working in a circus playing Orpheus. Written in 2006.
