If Adam Picked the Apple

From Danielle Coffyn, a poem called If Adam Picked the Apple. Here’s the first bit of it:

If Adam Picked the Apple

There would be a parade,

a celebration,

a holiday to commemorate

the day he sought enlightenment.

We would not speak of

temptation by the devil, rather,

we would laud Adam’s curiosity,

his desire for adventure

and knowing.

You can read the rest of the poem here and preorder her poetry collection of the same name.

BTW, the hilarious painting is The Rebuke of Adam and Eve (1626) by Domenichino. That Adam, what a wanker.
