A Childish Prank Man's and woman's bodies lay without souls, dully gaping, foolishly staring, inert on the flowers of Eden. God Pondered. The problem was so great, it dragged him asleep. Crow laughed. He bit the Worm, God's only son, into two writhing halves. He stuffed into man the tail half with the wounded end hanging out. He stuffed the head-half headfirst into woman and it crept in deeper and up to peer out through her eyes. Calling its tail-half to join up quickly, quickly because O it was painful. Man awoke being dragged across the grass. Woman awoke to see him coming. Neither knew what had happened. God went on sleeping. Crow went on laughing.
