The Quality of Thoughtful Conversation Between Gods

 

The quality of thoughtful

conversation between gods
is rarely strained –
except when exigencies

of their games depend upon

pretending they are not
omniscient. They then become
proficient at the acting out

of roles we’d not find strange:

misunderstandings
that comprise the sighs
in our attempts to talk.

They’re good at seeming
like they ought to balk

at the perversities of angry
envy and obsessed excesses

in the other: none

of which of course obtains.
There’s the rub: they lack
our mortal brains.

Such games

are ponderous, soon come
undone.  Since they’re
not us, it isn't fun.
