Existence of the Mind

They are as lesser gods
for they are omnipotent,
omniscient, their creations
live and prosper, or
they stumble and perish
and the odyssey of
their destiny is all in
the virile minds
of their authors
spelling out in minute
detail the incidents
and accidents that
comprise their creatures' lives
while we, the anxious 
reading public,
turn pages in a 
suspense of discovery,
succumbing to the
probing curiosity of the voyeur
that makes its comfortable
home in our restless minds.
