On the 8th day God created cancer
So that we might know the pain of loss and sick decay
On the 9th day God created cot-death
With spite he wanted us to share the sorrow of a child unfairly taken
On the 10th day
– His cruelest joke –
God created love and doomed us
On day 11 God departed
His experiment complete
His interest waning
His fun over
And the world still spins on its axis
