Divine créature

Pay homage to the great deities

as you sit at your desk to create,

remember how they forged you

tooth by tooth, thought by thought.

You were molded by holy hands

on a boring mid-July afternoon.

You were made for Them, by Them.

Pray to those who have created you

through ripe figs and human blood.

Look at the skies and pray to them:

"Spare me from the apocalypse,

for I have nothing but you."
