he looked me in the eye
I'm an intellectually curious atheist
a portrait of guilt breached his face
I'm in constant search of a God I don't believe in
when I looked confused
his laughter shattered my eardrums
pay me no mind
he sputtered through the mirth
I'm really looking for a girl with a beautiful body
and a sick mind
I walked away
wait, kemo sabe
he caught up with me
it's the new year
will this be the year we find world-wide
everlasting peace?
someone told me a while back
peace is overrated I said
what'd you tell him?
nothing
I punched him in the mouth
