30in30, Day 12: "Mount Olympus Girls"


Here, all the soldiers wear flowered jumpers and have their hair in braids.

They are armed only with squirt guns and Stretch Armstrong souls that can bend
1000 ways and never come apart – they can be permanently distorted, maybe;
stretched beyond recognition, yes – but they never break.

You can set the world on their shoulders like a boulder,
and they will not shrug.

When you knock them over, they simply shift the load
and begin to climb again.

    1. Really? Thanks! I wasn't sure about it; I thought maybe it was too short. Do the pop culture references interfere too much with the Greek myth references?
