That was quite interesting.  I liked the lines about believing in the book the way you believe in curiosity.

Subject: [stylist] Poem - "Eve"


Hello Blinks,

Here's a poem I wrote a couple of days ago.  It's in a less literary form that I'm working on now, less concerned with certain literary effects.  Also, it seems a subject appropriate to late Sunday afternoon.

Eve

Let's say I believe the Book

the same way I believe in apples and curiosity.

Eve, then, our mother first

was nobody's dupe; and the snake was no devil

but a wise townsman in that primest of towns.

"See all of the colors?" he said,

that giddy green mayor.

Our Eve saw all the pigments

of which the serpent was one

and wanted to paint.
