genesis

They must have let me down
because I was too heavy.

It's hard to name my needs.
Knowledge bears a fruit

so heavy they'll kick me out of Eden.
Which is where I am?
Paradise?

This doesn't feel like paradise,
so what harm could the truth do?

If it's not paradise, 
the truth won't get me kicked out. 
Knowledge only kicks me out of Heaven.
Ignorance is bliss.

If I'm not in heaven, the truth can't bring me
any further away from it. 

So let me go ahead and make sure
I know where I am before I admit 
I am so ready to eat and be eaten
it hurts.
