Paradise Hung

"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.
