PARADOXICAL  ATHEIST

I noticed you like to drop the God bomb,
from time to time, “Oh, I don’t believe in
God. I don’t believe in that stuff anymore.”

And sitting there watching your face, I
wonder if your eyes and mind really mean
it. I wonder if you say it for the effect.

Yet you let slip, “Oh my God!”
Or, “Jesus Christ - why did
she die from cancer so young?”

I can’t say it yet - but you’re
the one person I notice who
stops to notice the stars of night.

You seem intrigued with a dog
flying through the air to catch
an orange Frisbee in flight.

For the sake of transparency, I believe
in God - and I really wonder about
whether you really wonder about God.
