The Book of Job, a True History.
IB Rad

our history begins
in the beginning
or, actually, more toward the middle,
with God protesting

and the Devil objecting
that the Lord was an imposter
and that, instead of Satan toppling from Grace,

who were banished to that arctic void,
now euphemistically termed Heaven.

with a sonic blast
that would have felled all but Satan,
“It was YOU who lost the contest!
