Scene: Tree of the Lives; in the midst of the Garden. Tree of Knowledge -- site not specified. Who told Eve what? Did Adam withhold the directions? Stand by as she was hoodwinked? Is that why he was banished, and not she? Read the old story a little closer.

.
Which Eden Tree? The Lives? Knowledge? How was Eve to know? Ireland's reincarnation..

1. The Form.
.
Iambic pentameter. Meet the ten-syllable rhythm of blank verse, with variations. This is a convention for lofty themes: a favorite of classical poets, and Shakespeare. Yet, many draw blanks. Try this as an exercise: ten syllables per line, five "feet" - and read it aloud in an iamb this time, da-DUM, da-DUM. Most of the time. Read by sentence, not by the break in the line. See http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/blankverse.html

New looks at thoughts are evil to some folk.
Upsetting groups and ranks long deemed in place.
Not far from evil-doers' minds are deeds
That are nefarious. But who decides?
The SAT and evildoers do?

Combine T's ill effect, on brain, with booze,
Or binges. Frolics with drug resources.
T's aptitude for weakened thought grows big.
.
Brain weakening, by too much T in there.
The Potter's prototype so deeply flawed.
Explains the Eden gaps, the many myths, the many myths
That tell of startings doomed to fail. Create
With T's hazard built in. No wonder sin.

The Book passed on is truncated. It starts
Without accounts of prior happenings,
Leaving origins to fabrications.
Self-serving gaps filled, duping the hopeful.

We want to know what led to Life's dark birth
So that it had to be imprisoned, there
Inside a Tree. And why there was no Word
Against the Creature's tasting it at will.
O NChSh, your opportunity long lost.
.
Chorus:
What was the Day when Evil bloomed. By whom;
And who contained the peril, then inside
Another Tree. But with a Word this time
To eat it not, lest death result. But that
Was over there, the other Tree.
But we do not find it in Genesis.

There were some others at the outset - Gods.
"Lest man become like one of us." Who else
Was in that discourse - more than One was there.

Those deeds, now cast away by those who feared
An inconsistency with what they want
The people to accept. A party line
Imposed so early on, that there was One,
And launched the Cover-up that plagues us since.
,
The gods were multiple - "Like one of us." *
They had a history themselves, untold.

Chorus
The Garden made, God(s) made a Prototype
Gen.2:15 to tend, Creation Care.
But Hints earlier suggested fruit up,
As big mistakes were made, a kind of taint.
Was this the course: T in the Dust itself.
High predatory bents, put first in bears,
Polluted dust from which Gods made the man.
.
Gods think, Who'll know? Oops - error on the screen.
Not good to leave the Prototype alone.
His job description was name and tend, but
Tying tin cans to kittens' tails? Or worse?
Created overlap with predators,
Testosterone adjustment program failed.
.
Just take dominion? Hah. Turned into force.
Dominion is to be a steward; caring.
Thinks: Stewardship intended. Not destruction.
Contingency addressed: Create Update.
The deity found need to make a patch
That in itself can better do the job.
.
Use tools for gender program installation.
A Garden course correction called for here.
Provide a mentor, help the Prototype.
Upgrade, we'll call her. One who sees a whole.
To moderate the error, counter-weight.
.
Protagonist
So Upgrade, fashioned with experience,
By wiser Gods, soon joined the Prototype.
With two accounts of these events, no change.
One says that both were made of self-same mold.
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Elbrought/anneadameve.gif/.
.
But T-polluted dust was used to shape,
To pot the two. And there they both diverge.
Force gives him pleasure. Watch him shove. Not her.
Not to the same degree. Too much toxic
T-- formula and brain cells die. Knocked out.
.
The predatory instinct turns on him.
Man's overdosing, taints to lottery.
Porridge of Life: Cain's progeny go on,
Did Seth counterbalance Empire's rootings.
.
Chorus:
Read it: Both were there. The Book says "with her."
She sees the Knowledge Tree, and asks: What's that?
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Elbrought/clovio.gif/.
.
The man knew: Leave alone the Knowledge Tree.
The first mixed message, How die? Asks Upgrade.
Why not forbid the Tree of Life for that?
.
Prototype:
Yes, why not eat. The Tree of the Lives is
Not this tree; I'm confused. Why should she die?
The virus tempted with a pop-up: Eat.
And get some Knowledge? Questions answered? Yes!
And sure enough, it tasted great. And once
She tested, whose hand then thrust out for bite?
And she, without a thought, of course did share.
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Elbrought/norwich_fall.gif/.
.
When man saw that she lived, he could not wait
To taste and learn the Good from Evil, too.
He could find use for either, get ahead.
She has imagination, grant her that.
But he, the objective to reach the top.
.
Chorus:
When he had his bite, all flotsam blew up.
Commanded not to eat - directive clear.
The problem was not Upgrade, just the share.
Go back and read that God commanded him.
.
His fault was the bite: hers acting conduit.
The man was told he shall not have it more,
But no word kept her from more learning.
.
We know the story after. Consequence
Not Death; but hiding; and the garb of fig leaves.
You know the words. If not, go back and read.
Now go and see the sequence, readers all.
.
Protagonist:
Disinformation lurks.
How many times are we told certainly
It was the both cast out from Eden, and
The angel barred their way from all return.
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Elbrought/moutier%20adameve.gif/.
.
That is now how it happened. See the texts.
There was no problem with the Upgrade's bite.
She can discern. The problem was, she shared
And passed the bane of Knowledge to the one
Whose tendencies find pleasure in the pain,
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Elbrought/moutier%20adameve.gif/.
To overcome becomes his goal: Empire.
A glitch, an error, Creation's Big Mistake.
.
He is not likely - one in three - to use
His Knowledge to solve problems; he promotes
Himself, if he is excessed with taint.
So she is welcomed back. She comes and sits
Beneath that Tree, a room that's all her own.
.
For Prototype, he finds far greater thrills
Climbing his ladders, then removing rungs.
He overcomes those who obstruct his way.
.
Chorus:
Unfortunately, High T passed to Cain;
Who thought he was doing deity's will
By tilling and growing fruits of the earth,
But, ha, the deity heeded him not!
Angered was Cain! Killed usurper Abel.
But, think back: Seth has chance, counterbalance.
Of two: Cain chose Force. Deity unfair!
The third, Seth, minded his own business.
So: No Abel seed to dilute the T.
Cain's Progeny: Guns. No right to life.
Force has become sport. The TV show plot.
Upgrade:
I, the guide, in front of. Man's nose out-joint.
Couldn't, wouldn't, abide. So I? Birth pangs.
And, vulnerable, preoccupation
With the man ruling in me. Protection.
But banished from Eden I was not. See?
I have space here, can withdraw in my mind.
That predatory itch that Proto loves
Gets aimed at me, but I have T there too.
The female guardian of Tree of Lives
With flaming sword lets me decide. I do.
Always have. Plants in Eden, the techniques,
How else have two sons, then only one more?
.
Protagonist
Gates open for her. He rants, but he fails.
Interruptions stop. Her time.We leave her
There beneath the Tree, taking shade. High time.
Her R and R; and him at Combat Squash,
And fighting limits on his Empire's terms.
.
A contest, all must be a contest. If
You solve the problem, less money is made.
Make it recur. Keep the poor poor. Who cares.
.
Daniel the Hermit's Cave, Putna, Romania
.
But some see the wisdom of solitude.
.
Now back to what is missing from our tale.
Conclusions range. Let's skip it. Hermits, too,
Can only puzzle for so long, then sleep.
Selah.
