Paulie Lipman: God’s Most Failed Experiment
Photo: Joanna C. Valente
God’s Most Failed Experiment Was Free Will
and we
the disappointing
end results
evolved from angels
carved down/out their
blind devotion
made way for innards
we now freely choose
to ignore
pulse dragging
center a freezing coil
a corpse heart/rotting
off abysmal pieces
to where we’d rather
drown in blood
gone mad blind
at the center
