Permit

Expelled from the Garden of Eden by RachelPaintings~ Etsy


You said: let’s come back
to the garden
to enjoy the tree,
the apple, the snake,
being naïve…

we’re there,
but everything ‘ve changed:
a snake wears glasses,
a transparent skin,
earbuds, aged…

apples – so many brands,
each one wrapped in a rainbow
digital case,
to eat – find a code,
dial, submit and sign
that was used your permit.


to eat or not...?

  2. the snakes will always be there...some get a bit older...and you just have to remember, when you mess with snakes you run the risk being bitten....if you are not gentle...

  3. Those snakes try to be charmers but just go the way of farmers, whack them with a big stick lol

    1. Better, give them an apple to feed before the nudge, no? :)

  4. ha - they consistantly change their appearance... yet in their heart they're still that old snake that you have to watch carefully

  5. Once a snake always a snake - I say
    . . . . and that garden is gone for now.

  6. Yes indeed the lure of the apple's still there.. and I guess the snake has to wear glasses today (or maybe a black polo-shirt)...
