Bene he

The angels wondered why man was
when they were, excelling,
but God whispered to Adam
to play a trick
names for everything

and when Adam had learned
how to understand these whispers, in the assembly
of the sons of elohim,
proudly called each beast
and with loud growling, roaring, grunting
the sons were driven from the company of men

and God said it was not good,
though Adam was called good,
for him to be alone, made in God's image,
performed thoracic operation
and was Eve brought into the world of names

and Adam wondered why she was
when he was, and knowing every beast and every name,
and Eve heard whispers of a new knowing
and Adam proudly deciphered
so learned new names for he and she
and this we call

I don't think I shall say.
