the gods are ready-made for plots
& plagiarisms, literary
shenanigans, substitutes for thought.
unoriginal sins of the people
& the blood they drank, etc. no wonder
we write lazily of their ways: fantasy
shtick predating ray harryhausen
& cgi. so easy passing on
the stories that have been passed on:
congenital disorders of the fabulists.
much harder to make sense
of the smartest apes & how they lie
with language, wake up
with their desires & pretend
the stars are interested.
