Astroclown
A poem by S. David

A new God?
An old God?
One of the giants
About to be
Defeated by Zeus?
One of those
Fought by Odin?
No!
Of course not!
The ships,
The helmet,
Anachronisms!
Gulliver
As clown even
Of serious mien?
Perhaps we see
One of
The Heavenly Orders?
Or is this what
Satan is or
Looks like
Today?
