Will This Mega Jawbreaker be a Match for the Hand of God?

After a Tiktok of the same name by user @614Lyfe

God was steaming his yoni over a pot
smoky with rosemary and wild mint.
He’d read in a Buzzfeed quiz that this was
supposed to be good for one’s circulatory system,
although he was concerned about
changes to his Ph levels.

Like a rabbit faced with the prospect
of being a rabbit forever, he shuddered.

Body
Is a short word for compromise.

God’s body was
one
long
line
of compromise.
