we enjoy the advantage of a two-sided mouth
so we may speak out of either side
at our convenience
we are pleased with the vehicle of one tongue
whose driven muscle articulates our power
we harbor one good ear so we may turn the other
so not to hear
what we wish not to hear
but we doubt that our god was here on earth
to manipulate the efficiency of the tongues we use
to inform others that only the effects
of intelligent causes are of worth—
not the intelligent causes themselves
so which ear do you turn to hear
which side of your mouth do you naturally select
are you adam
are you eve
immaculate
intelligent in design
or are you monkey with a hat on
swinging
by your thumbs?
