Divine Latency
—A cocktail for when divine response lags, and all you can do is sip and wait for the miracle that never refreshes.
You prayed. You paused. The line went dead.
A blinking light replaced what’s said.
The chalice chilled, the altar dimmed,
Your faith reduced to buffering hymn.
Absinthe swirled, a sacred burn—
A taste that asks but won’t return.
Bianco vermouth, so pale, so pure—
A priestess lost in glass demure.
A touch of saline, soft and slight—
A tear preserved in data light.
You sipped, expecting holy fire.
You got… a spark.
A slow expire.
And when the glass fell empty, cold—
The gods were still on hold.
You bowed your head. You held the rim.
The prayer?
You drank it. That was Him.
