“It is convenient for the old men to blame Eve. To insist we are damned because a country girl talked to the snake one afternoon long ago. Children must starve in Somalia for that, and old women be abandoned in our greatest cities. It’s why we will finally be thrown into the lakes of molten lead. Because she was confused by happiness that first time anyone said she was beautiful. Nevertheless, she must be the issue, so people won’t notice that rocks and galaxies, mathematics and rust are also created in His image.” PeopleMenFirstsChildrenLongSaidCountryBeautifulGirlCitiesIssuesRocksFirst TimeMathematicsBlameConfusedThrownLakesOld ManAfternoonAbandonedLong AgoNeverthelessSnakesGalaxyConvenientOld WomanRustSomaliaCountry Girl Book:Collected Poems Source: Collected Poems
“Our love for children is so immediate in part because we feel their powerlessness immediately; conversely, part of the way we deny our love for men is by denying men's powerlessness.
