Extrapolation!

By Nafumjromwami

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

“Adam said it is not me but the woman you gave to me. And Eve said, it is not I but the serpent. {And the serpent said, it is not me but you who created me, made me cunning and irresponsible}“ I hear the voice of Adam speaking through me I hear Eve speaking in you I hear the serpent speaking in her They are all in us. Daddy, did you rough up Mama because you were roughed up at work? Mama, did you rough me up because daddy roughed you up? Ooh poor Cat, you received my wrath because you were powerless.
