David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Conundrum of Adam

The Conundrum of Adam
David J Walker

Having forgone my claims 
On sainthood 

I stand naked for all of
Nature to see

I am Adam and the 
Part of me that is Eve is

Missing and may be 
Reclaimed only in 
permissive sin

and contrary to reports
the purport of my innocence 
is exaggerated

I am a willing sinner
Unaware of snakes or apples

Unable to remember 
The words of God

Only the odd meaning of the
Conundrum resonates
