Hey! Watch my ziggurat

“Hey! Watch my ziggurat, man.”

“Waddaya say?”

“I said watch my ziggurat. You almost knocked it over.”

“What the hell is this thing anyway?”

“It’s built to the glory of God.”

“Fuck you. THIS is building to the glory of God.”

“What the hell is that? It’s so gaudy. And ugly.”

“Don’t let me hear you say that again. It’s a goddam church.”

“It stinks.”

“Say that again and I’ll knock your goddam head off.”

“I said it stinks. Hey! Asshole!”

“I’ll turn this fucking junk into dust. Get outta my way.”

“You leave that alone or I swear I’ll kill ya. It took generations to build that thing out of pyramid stones.”

“It’s a heap of crap.”

“Oh, and what do you call that bollocks?”

“It’s a dome. Brand new. Ain’t more than ten in the world like it. Your zigga-whatever can’t touch it.”

“That ziggurat’s built to the glory of God. Built to His command and His design.”

“Bullshit.”

“Look. Who the fuck do you think you are, muscling in here? This is our show, ok? We’ve been running this for generations. Read the books.”

“Yeah? Well smell the coffee, boy. Things are a-changing. Get with it and I’ll see you ok, but that thing has to go.”

“No fucking way.”

“Have it your own way.”

“Hey! I’ve told you once. Step away from the ziggurat.”

“Fuck off.”

“If I have to…Shit! What the hell is that???”

“Sounds like someone in pain.”

“It’s coming from over there. Damn. I don’t need all this today. What is it?”

“I don’t know. It looks like a rocket.”

“A what?!”

“Oh yeah. They don’t have those yet. Musta had a vision or something.”

“Well I don’t know what the hell it is but I don’t like it. They can do what they want as long as they don’t come over this way.”

“The hell they can! I gotta grow my church.”

“Maybe if you and me stick together…”

“I don’t know. I got my doctrine to think about. Anyway, I got enough trouble with my own splitters without people wanting to build goddam zigga-things. No way. I’m on a mission sent by God.”

“Screw you then.”

“Yeah? Screw you too.”

“Bastard.”

“Asshole.”

“Shut the hell up in the rocket over there. Can’t a man get any peace?”
