Domesticating the Snake

Things make a lot more sense
when you realize
life is only about sex.

The hard evidence
surprised
us—we couldn’t make sense

of the fact that assholes and pricks
always win the race.
If life is only about sex,

aren’t assholes and pricks what we’d expect?
But now that God
has stopped making sense,

we can conceive of love as a new project,
something that can still be won
in a life that is only about sex.

The world can regain its innocence
because the snakes have moved in with us.
Now things make much more sense.
Life is only about sex.
