In the Beginning,
when God came to visit,
Eve set out tea
and tiny, crustless sandwiches.
Adam sat, comfortably nude, in his BarcaLounger chair.
God smoked cigars and
Listened.
Later,
(after that business with the snake)
Conversation crawled
and fig leaves got in the way of everything.
Eve cleared her throat and fanned at the cigar smoke,
Adam shifted from foot to foot,
and God muttered under his breath.
