The rock and the gavel 

7/11/20

Gavel felt superior to rock.

After all he was the gavel of the Superior Court.

Rock was well, just caught between gavel and a hard place. 

Thinking they would come to blows, it became immediately obvious that although rock could not move, gavel’s banging would do only one thing- shatter his highly polished suffice. 

And he couldn’t abide that—  as he needed his smooth face to perform his duties.

Was the smooth faced gavel his authentic self?
