A Sunday Poem: “Steve”

 

I was told

that God created

Adam and Eve,

not Adam and Steve.

 

Who created Steve, then?

 

 

Slave of his earthly desires,

Steve may have evolved

from a more primitive life form,

such as apes.

 

Like Michael and Gustav,

Nicole and Fatima,

Roberto and Cheng,

Olga and Maya.

 

Because God –

as I was told

only created

Adam and Eve.
