The god-makers in the workshops
go into overtime production, crafting new models of no-gods,
Urging one another on—‘Good job!’ ‘Great design!’—
pounding in nails at the base
so that the things won’t tip over.

The metalworker encourages the goldsmith,
and the one who smooths with the hammer

One says of the welding, “It is good.”
The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.

The carver encourages the goldsmith,
and the molder helps at the anvil.
“Good,” they say. “It’s coming along fine.”
Carefully they join the parts together,
then fasten the thing in place so it won’t fall over.
