Life Under the Bodhi Tree or 'Spare My Rib'

Sir Isaac God, you -

dropped your apple
on my head,
you set the wheel in motion -
you let the knowledge begin

it was plucked
and fed me once,
oh suffragette snake,
you, who fooled the man

so no more apples,
bullshit, or doctor a day -
bring me fresh ripe cherries,
and give this foolish man
another chance

I promise this time
to push the snake deep
beyond the loins
of this lady earth
