It is not a snake that whispers in eve's ear, tempting her
to take down a piece of forbidden fruit, to bite into it, then offer it to Adam
to devour as well, but a worm she needs to put it up inside her, to feel the
fruit from inside, to taste the juice that's spills out of her, and with our
open mouths, knowing the whole time we will be banished, knowing that even if
we did not know what would have happened, we still would have done what we did,
because we need the worm that pokes its head out of the forbidden apple, breaking
the skin of it, ruining it for anybody else, the worm that crawls even deeper
within, until it finds the real fruit deep, deep down inside.
