In the time of Eden, there were baobab
trees and stinking ginko.
They were tended by
behemoths
and trampled beneath
the feet of rats.
Then,WE came climbing,
with our nimble
fingers and gnawing with our nimble teeth,
until the world was a
hungry, gaping mouth.
And WE are falling into it,
with our nimble fingers and our nimble teeth,
and strangle the mouth
of the world.
