“humanity takes itself too seriously, it’s the world’s
original sin..”
G-d peeled heaven away from earth so pleased was he,
he got a chill in his spine and shook like a tree. the
leaves shook too but with the rage of pride, the rage
of pride. one leaf named satan yearned to be bigger
than the tree, so g-d flicked him off, flicked him
off. on the way down he caught a severe nasal
retention and there he lingered on the verge of a
spasm called a sneeze, the torture was called hell,
reserved for satan and his devils, never to hear the
words, “g-d bless you” again.
He called the mark of the sun on the moon – light, he
said, “good” and shut the light out to form the dark.
he saw that dark and loneliness breeds artistic ease
and let the water spill through his fingers to form
the firmament. he sketched the earths depths with the
winding currents, let the moons passivity have its
will with the wishy washy tides.
But first i think by now, somewhere on the sixth? day,
that creeping things, for lack of a better phrase,
sprang from the ground, and the image of g-d was
worthy of himself, he said, let’s make man in my
image.
So g-d createdman a penis with a bone inside. the king
james version calls it a rib. one night a pain shot
through this bone, while he slept, he woke up no
longer erect, the bone removed, while he slept to form
a lovely woman who wept.
Man climbed on top of a cherry tree with his face
towards a cluster looking down at her, one by one
piercing the skin, yielding the juice rolling down the
branches, letting his mind meander in erotic metaphore
– this sensation was called “lust” and man basked in
its promising fluid.
