When They said, “Let there be the Big Bang”,
They created their first accident.
They giddily made room for
creativity, love, copulation, world wide web,
IUDs, IEDs, mosquitoes, laughter, one turtle
out of ten thousand living long enough to make
one hundred like herself, invasive water chestnuts,
car crashes, Beethoven, AIDS, duct tape.
Then They said, “Be fruitful and multiply”,
thought about it for a few billion years,
(give of take ),
said, “Oops!” now and then,
thought about it for a few billion more,
then said,” So? All right! Let’s see what happens!”
and here we are.
