The earth opens and says, “I give”

The world opens and says, “Start your bids”

So we search our pockets

Plunder the earth and visit prophets

All to be called the coolest kid

About the Creator

L M Anderson

I am a writer from the Oklahoma Plains. Fascinated by the connectivity of humanity and grieved by the lack of experience of it, I write to create space for the exploration and celebration of humbling moments of connection.
