Heavy Times - "Too Many Dreamers"
A squirrel enjoys a bit of red wine and loose garbage. Walks along the telephone cables, trying to keep feet single file. Passes windows that drip with human breath and glow-light. Up trees to see streetlights, the tips of silent chimneys, and three stars. Sleep will come when it does, but until then, as always, the hunt.
For supreme and utter obedience to the letter of the law, there is a state-funded Heaven. It's not easy to get in, as it costs taxpayers a hefty sum to keep it running. Some believe there is a conspiracy to keep true and righteous citizens out of its high-walled floating gates. A peaceful angel, known on Earth as Robert James Kelly, was recently kicked out because he was found to have once made a, while not illegal, frowned-upon mid-street three-point-turn.
