TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL THE NAMES OF THE GODS

by Fred Aiken

i wonder if greek and roman people
actually memorized all the gods and goddesses, naiads, giants, woodland creatures,
and on
and on
and on,
it seems mindlessly unending,
and if people back then did memorize all the deities and their supporting cast,
i wonder if the myths and stories they told/
made up
about them was their version of watching the kardashians
