Losing Paradise
[by S. David] [art by Dr. Gerd Matysik]

Deh yum
This was not
Eve
Mother
Of all
Yet she set
Me up
Me still
Innocent
In those days
She played
The serpent’s
Part
You can see
How she
Reasoned with me
Showing me
Tempting me
Forbidden fruit
Made me
Sweat and
Dance then she
Offered them
Freely
Eventually
My mind cleared
My eyes opened
I was no longer
Innocent
Having tasted
The fruit
Hot damn
