The Mountains in the Distance

Time stood still for Adam and Eve,

he was a man and had a right to

his desires.

And he waited and waited and was like

so many men on earth.

Always looking, looking, looking

and those mountains in the distance

were glorious and huge.

The twins were great.

Adam watched her every day. Her mountains

were more beautiful than the pristine sun.

He kept watching and hoping,

yet she was always running, running, running

like so many women on earth.

All playing hard to get,

and Adam felt himself rising, higher and harder

every day. Every god damn day. He was

getting hard as a rock.

It wasn’t fair.

Why did Adam have to wait?

He didn’t like it one bit.

Finally, he watched her the day she

grabbed that juicy red apple

from that tree.

He knew she was sinning,

so he ran to his favorite mountains

and held them firmly in his

heated hands and he took control

of his twins and Eve and

she was no longer pure.

And since then,

there has been hot hell here on Earth.
