Dis
they discussed all manners of dis
their relationship had suffered at the hands of
perfect strangers
which they found unconscionable
as they tried very hard not to prefer
judgment on anyone
dised at the hands of his own family
while her family
seeeemed
alright
with her in their relationship
she was demonstrably happy
and
also very likely
because
they were remote to her life lived apart and had for a considerable time
which furthur didnt bode well
for his family as his daughters were well into their own
lives
and
frankly because hed raised them to be
wide-eyed and unprejudiced
he hadnt a clue how that snake
came up and bit him on the ass
anyways
somewhere during their conversation
driving back home on a rural route through the hills
from an afternoon at the
ocean she mentioned a goddess -- did he remember her
saying so -- who
appeared to her came to her as she
meditated
who she chased away
-- You chased a goddess away
-- I am sorry to say I believe I did
You dont recall me saying so
-- I dont
-- Appearing as she did she frightened me
I
thought her something other than a goddess
And
only now
do
I think I was wrong
I think I made a mistake
-- Lemme get this straight
You
dised a goddis
she rolled her eyes
-- Youre so clever
-- No Im
not
Id just prefer you admit it so if
she returns and hurls a lightning bolt Im not among
your collateral damage
-- Goddis
You dont think you earned collateral damage status
-- Good point good point
if youre a humorless driedup goddess
though
I
wouldnt think that gods or goddesses arent inclined to despise one for being
clever
Arent they usually attended by
fools at their feet
-- Theyre gods and goddesses You think they care about your niggling what you think
-- In a more perfect world they would
And they could make it more perfect step into the fray
give me a pass
Is all Im saying
You dised a goddess
-- I cant believe were having this
conversation
Nobody talks like this who talks like this
-- People who dont believe in God and are
trying to avoid divine retribution
Were just hedging our bets babe hedging our bets
