Eve: Unsimplified

she bit the apple and so began apologies
(possibilities) for everything.
tree diagrams/ flow charts fill mind margins and seep out from the eyes like fluid from tear ducts overreacting.

Humpty Dumpty is a good example
of a bad example: what happens
when wall sitting becomes all the rage,
the new absolute like black is the new white when nothing is lost in flux. not virginity, control, Chinese checkers marbles continually mingle (greens find blues so interesting) the torn hymen one time aroused.
the large egg wobbling over brick walls
is now a tease to experience- to gravity.

everything surfaces when the glacier (decides) to thaw. children fish bones for weapons, skulls for pets, eat chalky residue because it's there

they yolk less intact: struggles to communicate with horses and men struggling with reconsruction.
oozes flow charts on pavement.

rather, everyone wins something outside the garden:
numbers and riddle minds
lingering flavor (the apple's aftertaste) new definitions of beautiful:
-to bring pleasure in the most external sense -distraction (stubbornness) of marbles

after the shatter we fried eggs on the sidewalk.
after the melting, invented vaccines for tetanus called Pica a preference after the first bite we knew
