I was devastated
the day I learned
Dora did not create
the universe.
I remained unclear
who did
so I gave the inventor
the rubber stamp God.
As it turned out, Dora
created our little patch
of the galaxy
doing touch up
for a great master,
like those painters
who specialized in rabbits
did for Rubens.
She burst my bubble
when I asked if she
created the earth
for us humans
and she told me
she never dreamed
such monstrosities
could evolve
from the micro flora
and fauna
she placed in the
seas and oceans.
