Surely, We Overlook

Being so poor at reflection as
Our culture teaches us to be.
Surely, we overlook many things
About that wonderful life in the Garden—

And this one glorious difference
Between our life and theirs
Occurs to me just now.

They had no market,
No ads.
No salesmen.

Except that one, of course—
Who unleashed transgression
On this world,
And taught man greed and pride
And all manner of vile things
The remain to this day.

And I think it’s no wonder
That God should be so excited
About the stars—
That he would pluck them out
Of this darkness and take them
To his house when they are done here.
