A Country Western song about— reincarnation. Featuring Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings. Sort of like The Fountain of the Country Western genre.

Everything and Nothing

In: Prose

At the Sweet and Tart Cafe a waitress accidentally stepped on a little white mouse beside our table. The mouse had the most horrible expression on its face. In slow convulsions it tried to will itself back to life— a life insignificant by our standards.

 

Steven wanted to leave because he couldn’t stomach the idea of mice running around the café. I wanted to leave because I couldn’t stomach the mouse’s expression as it lay there with its last measure of strength trying to will itself back to life, clinging on desperately.

 

‘The passion of all living things to live,’ I thought.

 

A waiter walked over with a broom and dust pan and swept the mouse away.

Show your support by liking FWIW on FB and/or G+, where I post something worthwhile (illuminating, informative, poetic, comic, tragic, usefully irreverent, captivatingly absurd) sporadically, whenever the mood strikes. . . You never know what you're going to get, but if I'm doing things right, whatever it is should ultimately enrich rather than detract from your life.
