Utnapishtim was sinking all soporific
when Ea came calling
her voice washing wisdom like waves into his dreams
Enlil will drown the earth, she says
build a big boat, she says
even then i kenned that stories tack
soft as straw but enough to break a born-again back
so everybody drowns but moldy oldy and his family
some seeds and some animals including three birds
when the rain starts they’re on the Euphrates
pouring from the sky like a fountain
ship sails around gets stuck on a mountain
so for six days and nights a mind blown Christian kid
starts questioning every religious thing his mom said and did
in the Bible humans sin so Yahweh-zilla destroys
in the epic gods are sleepless cuz we’re making too much noise
either way humans stuck with a bullshit rap
can’t have fun or angry god can’t nap
twenty faithless years later i read
melt water on a breaking glacier fed
tons of fresh water into the sea
and sea level rose suddenly
about 11000 BCE
