Who?

Who decided how the cherry tree should branch and flower?
Who designed the patterns on the peacock's feathers?
Who gave the iguana its fierce demeanor?
Who said yes, I like the baboon's buttocks just the way they are?

Who imagined a being with a throbbing, insistent penis?
Who put the idea of justice in the world knowing it would
become laughable time and again?
Who made human beings who achieved their highest capacities
but made only a few of them?

Who created a heaven, but made us guess at what it is?
Who created miracles that are almost believable?
Who talked to us in whispers amidst the incessant noise of life
and mumbled to us in metaphors?
