To be certain our species
would flourish,
God
constructed a magnetic
attraction within us so
Powerful
that when young
Men
were stopped by a
deep and rushing
flow of icy
Water,
or a gaping, precipitous
chasm rent in the earth,
these self-same Men
peered forth
and saw comely young
Women
on the far side
(picking wild flowers).
And then
God
could be certain
bridges would be built.
