I wondered why the gods fought each other
gods who had godly powers to fly, to magic, to morph
entrusted with crucial tasks — raising & lowering
the sun, nourishing crops, managing winds —
yet they angered & schemed, stymied & punished
seduced mortals, spoiled the lives of half-breeds
brutes obsessed with passion, mad for power
small minds clad in sumptuous panoply, models for
Wizard of Oz, unmasked by sensible Dorothy
