#215 Digs

I don’t know what you think

But I’m digging this here deep hole

You might think I’m going to China

But I assure you it’s just shallow

On the grand scale of things

It’s just a divot

If you were an ant

A whole lot more

But I’m digging it anyways

It’s my redemption

My penance

A preview for what’s in store

If you dare to doubt me

Just climb right in and help

I’ve got some extra shovels

Up there

Right next to the lip

Help yourself

I’ve dug past the topsoil

Into the clay

And different strata

I don’t know how deep I can go

Before I hit rock

And I’ll break out the dynamite

And have a little blow

But rest assured I’ll keep going

This might be the last thing I ever do

Whether I die of old age

Or the sides caving in

I plan on going

Till I can’t go no more

You’re welcome

To come and join me

See those extra shovels

Just over there

Hop right in beside me

We’ll do our penance

Side by side

We can share

Getting close to something big

I can just feel it

I suspect it’s some food

For my soul

There’s plenty to go around

So hop right in

And join me

Right here inside this hole
