Gifts of the Spirit


The fire came down from Heaven.  My mother can see the future; she thinks the planet's orbit will bring it into view in two million years.  My cat gained the gift of scholarship.  It's heartbreaking, watching her pore over those tomes; she can't read.  Myself, I have a miraculous tissue.  Feel it; it is always damp, but never quite breaks.

Supposedly, someone out there has the gift of interpretation to tell us what all these signs and portents mean.

Yesterday, I stepped on a snail whose antennae were crowned by a tongue of flame.  I hope it wasn't the one.
