Eden Deferred (Female Horticulturalist) 1951

In the Garden of Eden everyone’s bleeding. Plucking, de-seeding this earth. The birth of a child sends a mild and dolorous cheer. Seers of another disfigured plant. Peers into the future not worthy of the beauty that has just been harvested, a wasted youth prophesied by the truth; an adult life full of strife; but there’s always hope with fertilizer dope. Smoke from the volcanoes to light up another high. Spy the genes turning obscene. Instill the will. Give society a deity. Just one life; not two… What a pity.
