I ran into the Aesir,
Down at the grocery store.
They were in the liquor section
Looking for a case of mead.
(They eventually settled on
Some generic factory beer)
I asked them how they were.
Odin shrugged and said
That he'd just sold his Ravens
To a high bidder, online.
Thor said that he was
Working in construction
Where there's always a place
For those who can handle
A hammer.
Loki, as usual, was elusive
But I got the feeling
That he was looking for something
Out in Hollywood.
It's a good place
For tricksters and myths.
I told them that it had been too long,
That they should call me,
(They won't)
That we should get together
(We won't).
We all knew that we wouldn't.
I said my goodbyes
As they wandered on over
To the meat and dairy section
Looking for some fresh goat flesh.
