​
Where Are the Gods?
I went to Greece to find the Gods,
But they weren’t there.
The chariot of Helios is sitting under a tarp behind a gas station in Exachia,
It’s missing a wheel that got sheared off by an Airbus over Athens International.
The temple of Posiedon is missing its roof and Old Trident himself was last seen having drinks on the deck of Koru, bobbing in the Adriatic with Jeff and Lauren.
The Oceanus has been paved over and no one’s sure about the shades of Elysium,
Hades moved to Miami.
Aphrodite was spotted in Paris during Fashion Week,
Dark glasses, frowning at her phone, outside Les Deux Magots.
Hermes now runs a spot in Berlin called Die Magischer Helm,
Where you can dance straight for 36 hours.
And Zeus?
He was in Davos looking toned and tanned in his Patagonia vest,
Hosting a forum on tax havens.
The nymphs and dryads are gone too,
No more springs and groves for them,
Its all Tik Tok these days,
With Sabrina Carpenter leading the way.
