Don’t be quick to blame and shame
for what you don’t see written.
Adam was with Eve
when tempted in the Garden.
Perhaps he was distracted
by an early form of football,
or suffered Yes-Dear-itis
or marital hearing loss.
Perhaps the snake was just
a test that broken humans failed.
Perhaps there was
a greater plan and Eve
was the beginning.
