I Keep Getting into Fistfights with God Every Sunday

I need to just give up and sit in the back pew
like a child in the good old days when I'd sleep
through church. Now I fight with politics
and movie ticket prices and youtube ads, as if
my church is wrath, the wrinkles in my lungs
foreshadowing a hundred thunderbolts landing
on my failures. But I argue back that I believe
in God, otherwise I wouldn't fight Him. It takes
faith to argue, the belief in belief, how moronic
we all are, and the monk tells me that not
thinking
is better than being naked in July.
