they forgot to write down the part where Adam & Eve were created

bald, & after they ate the apple they became ashamed of the nakedness

of their heads. Eve tried everything: wet dirt, dried leaves, petals

of flowers without names, nothing stuck. & when God came down

He saw their heads stained with mud & knew they had disobeyed Him.


Adam said it was all Eve’s fault, for listening to that stupid snake. God

pulled the snake from the grass and stretched it so thin it broke into hundreds

of tiny coils. He piled them on Eve’s head.



now you can listen to the snake

forever / but the snake won’t listen

to you / not even to heat / not even

to gravity

God put some coils on Adam’s head too, but told him his would fall out

over time, as punishment for snitching.
