Oh Hermes..
Messenger
of Elder Gods.
Where is the letter
with my ticket?
Did you lose it
on your way to me?
Or is All-Father
Kronos still intent
on drawing lots?
Or is the god
of tricksters
playing yet
another
silly joke?

I must concede,
it’s funny..
oh.. so.. funny…
that it makes me
wanna light
another smoke.
It’s so amusing
that it makes me
wanna down
another pint.
The Poet
says I shouldn’t..
But The Devil
knows me better..
bitch I might.

In truth, however,
now is not the time
for us to fight.
Now is the time
for me
to hold my faith
and pray..
and trust in God
and all else..
come what may.
