title: 'How it happened'
project: 'Elegies for Alternate Selves'
...
I was away on vacation when I heard--- \
someone sat at my desk while I was away. \
They took my pen, while I was taking \
surf lessons, and wrote the sun into the sky. \
They pre-approved the earth and the waters, \
and all of the living things, without even \
having the decency to text me. It was not I \
who was behind the phrase "creeping things." \
When I got back, of course I was pissed, \
but it was already written into the policy. \
I'm just saying: don't blame me for Cain \
killing Abel. That was a murder. I'm not a cop. \
The Tower of Babel fell on its own. The ark \
never saw a single drop of rain. I'm the drunk \
sitting on the curb who just pissed his pants, \
holding up a sign asking where I am.
