Mirror from TEA by Plumes

Ever clearer, as the kid grows nearer,
buying him a mirror
would just as well fulfill his goal
"Justify it," but he stays quiet-
I’d ask him again but then
my empathy’s alarm is pulled

Smash your chromosomes against mine honey,
wouldn’t it be funny,
your acne and my temperament
I’ll make something up and sound real snooty,
about my duty,
a fulfillment of a god’s intent
Can’t help wonder if it’s really wanted
or a retroactive rationale
to justify an accident
Should one envy, though, a plan’s intention
if, indeed, it was conceived
as just a big experiment?

We know the sons and daughters,
They do resemble you
How could we live without them?
Without you what’s a world to do?

"Is it true that what you plan to do
is to give a better life to someone?
Plenty living folks apply"
"No this gift must be delivered to
a future Adam 2"
Adam 1 can’t let all Adams die
"What kind of world to have devoid of Adam?"
Well Adam had’em,
a lineage of little guys
All of whom will fill that social stratum,
with dreams that madden,
escaping death between her thighs

We know the sons and daughters,
They do resemble you
How could we live without them?
Without you what’s a world to do?
