Genesis
By: Holly Day

We'll just assume it was all construed by men in suits
pointing at scrawled–over blackboards with long wooden sticks, we'll assume
they knew what they were doing because men in suits
always claim responsibility for these things.
There is always a plan and a chain of command.

Let's pretend that there were no women yet, that these men
who created the universe could also make their own tea
take their own notes, and were truly responsible for all of their claims
and that this cruel joke that keeps women hidden in the shadows
as great things happen around them, completely excludes them
was something that happened overnight, an accident
some side effect of the universe exploding.
