ADAM & EVE By Calvin Rezen I was Adam. I was unprepared. We were children. We were running scared. We had lots of business left to share. You were Eve. You had no clothes to wear. We both played games, we both play fair and square When neither won we both just stopped and stared If there’s no winning, there’s no sinning, no beginning So we’ll spin through space alone Our children’s children would be inbred anyway And who are we, Eve and me, damning man to mediocrity? Our children’s children’s children won’t be happy anyway They’ll be confused, and abused They’ll be buried with their brains all burnt and bruised We’re just two animals who weren’t built to chase So lets not run the Human race Though we’ve got the parts to procreate I think we’re both too smart to take the bait I’ve always loved you like a sister, not a mate So holy destiny and sacred fate We'll turn them in for more important traits and on the eighth day we'll refined our primal state Let’s not pretend. We’ll just be friends.

That’s where it ends so we’ll spend our time then go Our children’s children would be inbred anyway And who are we, Eve and me, damning man to mediocrity? Our children’s children’s children won’t be happy anyway They’ll be confused, unamused They’ll be buried with their brains so under-used We’re just two animals who weren’t built to chase So lets not run the Human race

We’re flawed and fucked and out of luck We falter at the base Our legs to frail to keep the pace So let’s not start…
