my train stopped
at the charleston station
it’s a long stop
which means the nicotine fiends
had time to step off
for a smoke
on hopped a beautiful lesbian
who hadn’t shaved her legs
since gerald ford’s administration
she took the seat beside me as we began to roll
then revealed her life
and a doctorate in theology
when i reciprocated
she explained there was a name
for what i am
a conceptual atheist
someone who believes, if there is a god,
we cannot possibly understand it
by virtue of being it’s creation
such hubris
it is the same scenario as a microorganism
staring back up through
the microscope
and claiming to know the thoughts and will of
the scientist observing it

Oh my, thank you! Waving toward Berlin!
A penetrating observation. You have a unique perception.
