and we’ll review once again
my problem with your faith
and how you put your trust in god
and how i put my trust
in the complications in
the molecular structure
of cee two aitch five
oh aitch

and that it will soon
overload
my enzyme factory
and how the z hangs below the line
in my handwriting
and how i borrowed that from cursive
yet i claim to write in print
and how there’s probably some form of
deep
metaphorical
metaphor
there
but i just can’t see it through this
intramolecular haze

perhaps
if you let me
find you
i can find
god

as well
and i will
give up
drinking
and i will give up
pursuing a career
in the smoking
of marijuana
and perhaps i will give up
hating
myself
and hate god instead
and fear him
in this sick
twisted
moniker
of love
and i will feel the same
way about you

and i appreciate
your religion
don’t get me wrong
i wish i had faith
like you do
but because of said faith
i feel
it will never
work out
between us
even though it wouldn’t if you were an atheist, either
but let me pretend please
