Written by Richard Mather
Our DNA a polymer implant from our worldly creator,
Blake’s Urizen. Backbone sidechain nitrogen phosphate
And a plastic oesophagus for when you can’t swallow
Reason. Bonding one attribute to another: the adhesive
Epox is on the horizon. One mind becomes many minds
Separated in competition, growing bodies to maintain
Separation. Protesting, Adam fiddles a stringtaut wire,
A thin-sliced reproduction of human forest life: gunfire,
Gas, batons, guillotines, barbed bells. But tan-thighed
Legs and a basket of hair implore his fingers, his eyes.
No longer playing, Adam is arisen, erects an assault,
Smearing Eve with a passion of blood and semen. Post-
Paradise, they are observed serpent-smiling, bending
An ear to the grassy knoll, the charge of a worldquake
Erupting from the core: the birth of a boy, the little devil.
