Genesis XX + XY/
(A Genetic Romance)

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In VI days did He create all that was created. On day VI He also formed the capstones of His creation, XY and XX, into his own image. XX was complete and lovely but XY had broken a leg from his X, for which he asked “Y?” God answereth him, saying, “Thou from this day forth shall be known as XY.” And XX looked upon XY and smirkled. But later on that selfsame day , XY found the broken leg in his genes. He then saith to XX, “Thou art seXXy”, and offered her the broken leg that he had found in his genes. And XX, having no such appendage herself, accepted it with great pleasure and gratitude. On that very same day did XX stop smirkeling at XY. And it came to pass on that very same day did XY and XX become one flesh. And this is the way the Lord Himself came up with to beget generations.

And on day VII, the Sabbath, the Lord beheld all that He had made and saith, “It is very good”, and went and rested. This had been His plan all along, and He beheld His creation with satisfaction, and saith, “L’chaim!” But on the selfsame day when XX heeded the serpent and did eat of the forbidden fruit and fell, and afterward offered it to XY, he soon came tumbling after.

And XY and XX thus dwelt on the east of Eden, and did beget sons and daughters who begat sons and daughters, who eventually begat Maurice Chevalier, a singer of songs in his generation, who saith in his own tongue, “Sank Heyven for leetle girls, for wizout zem what would leetle boys do?” All which fulfilled the holy and prophetic truth that there is indeed life between the erection and the resurrection. And the Lord God also made the birds and the bees. And it was good.
