Gods of Small Things

gods of small things have callis palms to busy to eat grapes on mount olympus. Their gardens consist of mature rhododendren bushes that clamor for attention from the sun. most live in 1970s ranch style houses with radient ceiling heat. they admire jade plants and place them in the window lattice. similarly twisting there necks.. twisting up for warmth. reaching up to the ceiling. stretching up to the sun.... see icarus fly.. see icarus fall. stumbling into corners earlobe equilibriums intoxicated. gods of small things..
