the question
of where
evil
resides

has not been
knowingly
posed
to the man
locked in a room
with nothing more
than a small rock.

in an open field
of no aberrations
a woman
goes into labor
for god.

most men will throw the rock
before using it
for pleasure.

age is a factor
to age
groups.

to the garden I cannot see-

pain as my witness
I go.
