Ragnarök and Roll

Coincidentally, those Viking myths
Seem aptest at the moment. Call Loki

Culture, and his three kids toxicity,
Ravening conquest, and blue hell. You see?

It all fits the times pretty well. We sleep
Clinging to windy Yggdrasil, dreaming

Of all the ways we’ll fall when the dragon
Serpent finally releases its own tail.

Will we fall? I’m not sure we will. I will.
You will. But these ideas that humans bred,

Interlocking chainmail waves at all scales,
Well, we are the dragon, aren’t we? Where’s Thor?
