22/30: In the Beginning (Or, Ten Lies)


In the beginning, God was getting along just fine
in the eternal void. His Glory ruled out need for
distractions like parcheesi games or galaxies.
But then he started feeling odd; one sleep He dreamed
cerulean. (No scholar’s noted this because
without a light the color blue’s unknowable
as God Himself.)The next, a hot magenta zinged
into existence. Then chartreuse. He wished to sense
them less abstractly, sneezed, broke out in burning stars.
(‘Let There Be Light’ just sounded more professional.)
