A Prayer to Little Gods

Giving thanks      
to all the little gods      
of house plants      
mascara      
and traffic lights      
the world is alive      
with magic and dreams      
so I leave alms      
at the alter of little gods    
with hope they weave      
the tapestry of me      
with compassion      
and not disdain      
to find more fertile souls      
[an ex perchance]      
to ply their fateful trade      
now for my daily communion      
fighting eyelashes      
as I race the lights to work
