Sample from How Many Cars Have We Been Married?
Voices from the Ark
Noah's dim-witted god has a plan.
Two of us are slinking, slouching to the ark,
But why should we leave our cubs, our herds, our dens?
We were blessed with ignorance,
ate no fruit,
lived our laws.
Find some righteous way to bury them,
and leave us alone.
Our gods trust us and think we're safe.
Listen. The rain has started.
Now the pressue is on every ordinary couple
to become the new Ancestor.
We did not ask for this.
by Alice Rohman
