EVIDENTLY

 And on the 8th day

god looked a tad bewildered,

even forlorn after that amazing week
of 24-7 creation,

feeling they might have forgotten
something crucial to the mix,

an item so small it’s almost
inconsequential,

when you could see their palpable relief
as great shoulders relaxed and then

you overhear this low almost
imperceptible mumbling

to their behind-the-scenes long-term
partner, that sexy creative collaborator,

“Evidently, it’s the freckles.”
