Genesis

After God took a rib from Adam
to make Eve

he took a rib from Eve
to make Ellen DeGeneres

his only problem was
he could not decide

what kind of genitals
to give her

bumping his head on the sun
he cursed the rays

worked on Ellen’s privates
by the cement pond

kept his eyes on his own blurry reflection
least it get out of hand

all the while his lengthy eyelashes
brushed against Ellen’s new belly.
