Shiva/Saraswati: Newport Smoke!

Two deities are humans on the East Coast seeking a new American dream, but Shiva has to achieve distance.

An offbeat mythology reinvention involving the two Eastern deities Shiva (god of destruction/meditation) and Saraswati (goddess of learning/music) in a Beatnik Earth-tale about discovered....divinity. Enjoy (signing off...woohoo!),

"I had a pack of Newports in Rhode Island after graduating from college in the East Coast. I've been living as a human in the USA for some time now, even though I'm actually Shiva, god of destruction/meditation. I live in this fantastic mansion in Newport, Rhode Island."

"I have two diamond-showcase treasures, taken from my Interpol-agency linked underground infiltration work involving blood-diamond traffic in North America linked to warlord-terrorists in South Africa and Europe too if I'm right. These two Newport treasures represent my life-story of government heroics retired into East Coast luxury. Like I said, I'm actually Shiva, god of destruction/meditation."

"So, why'm I on Earth rather than on my divine heavenly mountain in the Himalayas? I've been doing human heroics and performing this Earth adventure to woo my girlfriend-deity Saraswati, young and lovely goddess of learning/music. While I'm the human government 'dude' in Rhode Island (Newport!), Saraswati's my Newport gal named Valerie. We've been living together in that Newport mansion I told you about earlier. Saraswati's not my real wife, but I became a human to court her, since I'm seeking a new life with this goddess of learning/music. Irony, right?"

SHIVA: I like water-guns.

SARASWATI: I figured as much, Lord Shiva.

SHIVA: I like Newport.

SARASWATI: So do i!

SHIVA: Cool.

SARASWATI: Well, we can 'hide' here on Earth.

SHIVA: Why not?
SARASWATI: Why water-guns, dude?
SHIVA: They remind me of you, Valerie.

"I now have to debate with this nefarious Machiavellian fashion-baron in Newport named Val who wants to take Saraswati away from me. Of course, all I have to do is convince her she's a lowly young goddess of no concern to his capital empire on the East Coast (USA). All I have to do is persuade this ruthless Val that Saraswati is not interested in his brand of East Coast curry."

SHIVA: You can see I've made a name for myself on Earth!
VAL: I see.
SHIVA: Valerie's my special flower-trophy, man.
VAL: Good.
SHIVA: A life wrought from labors for America/Americans.
VAL: Right.
SHIVA: I want Valerie-Saraswati!
VAL: She belongs to me.
SHIVA: Wrong, man.
VAL: How's that?
SHIVA: She's of no concern to you, Val.
VAL: How's that?
SHIVA: I'm a racer, not a thinker like you.
VAL: So?
SHIVA: Valerie's like me, man --- young and designed!
VAL: Alright.
SHIVA: I promise you, man --- we're two love-ghosts.
VAL: Good.
