If Eve Had Been Greek

If Eve had been Greek—

The serpent would have horsed himself into her hips

And she would have begat a monster. . . . 

If Eve had been Greek—

The serpent would have wiled his way between her thighs

And she would have begat twins. . . . .

If Eve had been Greek—

The serpent would have spat a shower into her womb

And she would have begat a hero. . . .

But Eve was not Greek and she has been

Denied and denigrated for centuries for being

“The” cause of it all!

Next time Yaweh, be Zeus so we women will

Better weather the passage of the centuries.
