If We Texted God, Would She Leave Us on Read?

We don't light candles anymore—
but we charge our phones overnight
and check notifications
first thing in the morning.

I asked God a question
in an Instagram poll:
Am I alive?
Three people voted 'NO.'
But none were God—
She didn’t even view it.

I DM’d Aphrodite once,
tagged her in the caption.
She didn’t repost,
but a skincare brand liked it
and sent me a 20% off code.

How can I reach Parvati
if quiet prayer isn’t monetized
and she doesn’t Like or Subscribe
to my content? I post 
every Tuesday by 5 p.m. EST.

Yet, for a moment,
in the pink flower emoji,
I thought I saw a flicker,
a Divine eye winking—
but my phone died.

Tomorrow,
I’ll try a TikTok trend,
maybe then Isis will
duet my video.
