Undoing the biblical Genesis

"The New Adam and the New Eve"
by David Loye

I had a terrible dream, she said.
You're safe, he murmured, cradling her.
No, it was terrible, she said, I cannot sleep.
I still see that glorious garden, the birds,
the fruits, the clear streams with pebbles of
agate and the trancelike wandering of green fish,
and you were there, and for a time it was good,
but then this terrifying old man came and told me
I must not think for myself. And soon the snake
came and said - He laughed. A talking snake!

Don't laugh, please don't laugh! She shuddered.
This was so real, more real than now, much more.
The snake offered me a brain and mind and when
I took them the old man came rushing in, his eyes
exploding, his mouth aghast, and cursing with
hurricane force he threw us from the garden.
And you blamed me, she cried, and in a world
of misery we fought for five thousand years.

The sun touched the window sill, touched
her hair: he touched the gold along her neck
and back and sighing she rolled over and for
a long time they held each other, then she rose.
Come see, she called, joyous beside the window.
In poured the full glory of the morning, the
copper-gold of sky, the far-off crowing, the
clear, muted laughter along the river, the
light, cool fragrance in from the fields.
It will be a good day, he said, smiling.
And night, she said. For years, they
both thought. For years and years.

From the Diary of Adam
(roughly excripted from Mark Twain's account of the Bible)

The new creature wandered into the meadow again. . .
it is so very loud and irritating.
It likes nothing more than to go about examinging everything and assigning names and meanings to things that are of no significance whatsoever.
Always these 'questions' and constant talking.
GAH!!
