Delaying The Immortals (an American Sentence)


 Mercury gets a job as a NYC bike messenger but some idiot doors him, delaying Athena's bolts.

The American Sentence is an invention by the late Allen Ginsberg, who felt that haiku did not suit American expression. It is simply a single sentence of 17 syllables.

    The old gods just can't win, especially in New York. Thanks for the backstory on the American Sentence form.
