The Creation of Adam

God was giving him something
I'm sure of that
look at the way his hand is, 
fingers folding around        nothing
it must've gotten painted over
so what was it
a Big Mac?   a Mars bar?
no, this is the creation of the first man
I know, a Molson Golden!
no, look at the extension — 
it had to have been …
a gun?



(my take on the Sistene Chapel!)
