A Bedtime Story With God In It

After the mother father God
had coupled long in the joy
of telling their he-she she-he selves
stories of suns and moons
and planets and plants
and critters to scatter and fly

they said why don't we make one
that can tell tales too
and make them come true

and that my dear was you
