I continue to suffer
from the lack of an all-seeing,
all-knowing oracle
Satisfying purpose continues
it’s long vacation away from me
I have experienced much
yet still I feel so innocent,
Well… most of the time
The I unwillingly wake up,
and admit sheepishly that I know better
I am on the downside
of my existence here
My theology of slightly superstitious atheism
offers to me little relief
“Live for the day” they say,
“Live for the moment”
As the mail elves bring forth
my auto insurance bill.
