Athena Has Her Place
Athena doesn’t know much about this. She is at times a goody-goody good girl and at her more mature moments, a dry-lipped lawyer, yielding neither comfort nor warmth.
But Athena has her place.
Right now I suppose I have been giving away too many signals about how I am spending my nights. They expect—here on earth—that I will focus on their “here and now” and on doing things instead of delighting in the night and all that Hades offers.
Whether I like it or not, I must conform to their expectations. Mother “expects” me to pick apples with her today, golden apples, and I supposed I must even if think the life of action—including picking apples—is vastly over-rated.
