Gods or Readers

Exist as hypotheticals
For your surveying purposes,
As useful thought experiments.

Imagine yourself a few gods.
What could such beings be up to?
Now imagine them as readers.

What would reading gods want from you?
Imagine divine libraries
Of bored immortals killing time.

What on Earth could you write for them
To keep them from turning the page?
No god will thrill to your story.

No god will think a mortal sage.
A god is a kind of prison.
Show them something they’ll never cage.
