Sobek the Crocodile says that after an apocalypse
The great gods and demons generally stand
Or lie where they've fallen, trying to recall
Which side they were on. Harried ghosts
Circulate among them, passing out licenses
Perversely or at random which is why
He is currently run off his reptilian feet as the god
Of irrigation, plagues, conjugal love, marquetry,
Mondays from three to five in the morning,
And certain cereal grains while an Ohio woman
Has two gods and a demon assigned exclusively to her
One to grant her prayers, one to deny them and one
To remind her to feed the cat and check her mail.
