Three Gobs of Spit
A man went by, and spat three gobs of spit.
He walked away, the gobs remained.
Said one of the gobs:
“We are here, but the man is not here.”
Said the second:
“He has gone.”
Said the third:
“He came precisely for the purpose of planting us here. We are the goal of man’s life. He has gone, but we have remained.”
