When shopping for a god walk by
The thunderers -- what use to you
Are loud noises? Ignore the ones
Who obsessively count things -- feathers,
Grains of sand, deaths, deaths, infinities
(Some, more, enough, a whole lot
Will generally serve). If you're not clever,
Avoid those with more or less than one shadow.
Me, I favor gods who don't hold grudges
And have some useful talents -- ones who know
One end of a needle from another. This, though,
May just be me; my grandfather was a tailor.
