Onwards

C8

By James GreenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

"Onwards and sideways! As the saying goes."

"That's not how the saying goes."

"It shows."

"What shows?"

"The tip of your nose."

"But where do you want to go?"

"Who knows."

"Pardon?"

"Who?"

"The one that knows."

"But we have to go somewhere."

"Then somewhere we shall go."

"Look to the hill, as far as you can see. That's where we'll go, beyond the green valley."

"Onwards then, to the hills far beyond. Where the air is fresh, and the water new like sounds."

"What are these words that you speak as if you know what it's like."

"Then why hike onwards?"

"Let's sit here. Downwards. On the floor as we like."
