Worm had crawled to the lowest point it could find
finding itself empty of thoughts
unable to remember the tasks it had planned
there at the bottom it found Caterpillar
Do you lie on your belly here too? Worm asked
I do not lie down, I have tiny legs, Caterpillar said, indignant
Worm looked around and spotted Centipede
And here, another lowly crawler! Worm called
I am no lowly crawler, I have many legs and I could kill you with a bite, said Centipede
Worm had wriggled his way to the edge of the water at this point
And you, I see you squirming too, Eel.
Eel emerged from the water saying, I swim, I do not crawl like you. You are the lowest of the low.
Look, another dust eater, Worm said
Snake slithered near, I was cursed by god for bringing sin to man. What have you done?
You maybe have brought man sin, but I continue to whisper it in his ear, said Worm
What have you done lately?
