Atheism's Easier

Stephen Cushman

Abstain¹ from（放弃） staring too long at the sky.

Stick to screens, little keyboards;

block out birds with private earbuds（耳机）;

never hear the wind breathe harder.

Watch TV. Always drive.

Try to avoid a night outside

in ladled moonlight, glowing broth².

Eschew solitude³; cut back on silence;

call up someone just to gossip;

send lots of messages; read them, too.

Make sure not to spend a winter in the woods,

a month on a summit, a week in a desert,

time by the sea if it promotes thinking

how it's acceptance without conditions

that makes me acceptable, and pretty soon,

though tough at first, atheism（无神论）'s easier.
