God Weather


It begins with the small stuff:
Cupid, demigods, dryads & hamadryads;
Then Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite,
Or some of their ilk,
Hail down brutally into Earth's bread basket.
Even a cherub can leave a mark
(The crater that was Chicago
Was probably made by Thor
Or some other heavy hitter).
But who was it hit the Yucatan 65 mya
And sterilized a good bit of N. Am.?
What rough pantheon
Shuffled off this mortal coil
When our ancestors still looked like
Poorly designed rats?
