God's Blueprint
To be certain our species
would flourish,
God
constructed a magnetic
force 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 wildflowers).
And then
God
could be certain,
bridges would be built.
