Poem for a squid love goddess from the nth dimension.

Jed wasn't looking for a new god when Sandy popped into his life
that sweat soaked summer afternoon in that little parking lot. 
"I am your new god," said this ethereal creature from the great space
back beyond the market, back beyond the beginning of the universe.
Never being one to disagree with apparitions, especially those proclaiming divinity,
our hapless and rather greasy hero nodded and knelt
at the feet of this admittedly perfect specimen of something more than human.
Her tentacles didn't bother him in the slightest after the first week,
and he treasured the sucker marks they left
up and down his back.
