Eden


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.
