By Richard Mather
On the seventh day God came down
Dug earth deep and wide, buried Adam
In the belly of the planet.
From his grave came flowers and fruit trees
Valleys and hills, rivers and seas, fish, lizards,
Birds, mammals, humans -- lots and lots of humans.
Seven million years later Adam awoke
From a nightmare of holocausts,
Rape rooms, train wrecks, the rape of Eve.
But being stuck in the belly
Of the world he could do nothing
But grind his jaw and weep for eternity to end.
