It Fell Into a Crack

Uhoh, it fell into a crack, and now, by God, I want it back. Alas, my poor unsettled brain is going to go barking insane. Oh Lord, why hasn't heaven sent the necessary implement to get this missing morsel free? Crevice you are the end of me.

I couldn't tell if this was a diatribe about a popcorn kernel (valid) or the distillation of a philosophical treatise as Subimal has suggested. Either way, it's clever and kept me interested. Nice work, David.

The abyss of crack we design and fall. Truly, spiritual consciousness averts the fall with the blessings of the almighty. You have so nicely depicted our predicament of helplessness.
