Unlike Other Boys: Poems by Alan Ireland.



    The Story of Adam

    An epitaph for humanity

    He took a bite
    And got a fright.
    Forgot it all
    In sex that night.

    A new day dawned,
    A race was spawned.
    It multiplied,
    But heaven mourned.

    The flags unfurled.
    The battle swirled,
    And fitfully
    Destroyed the world.

    Our way we wend
    Till paths contend.
    In that first slip
    Was writ our end.
