Eden 101
no need
for fig
leaves
these are
pre temptation
fruit times
hanging out
tranquilly in
touch with
well let me
think...
everything
but then IT
asked me
to name
everything
so starting
simply
i picked
this up
and then
that and
named that
this and this
that
one of many
two of many
too many
manyies but
few of any
nothing pairs
up in threes
always a he
and she but
confusedly
not knowing
why since the
lamb is laying
with the lion
having no pride
to be beside
the other lion
of course the same
about me swinging
with the chimpanzee
i should be with
that other thing
naming it
whoa man
