I studied you tonight
as if I were reading
and re-reading
the Bible in Braille
but when I came
to the passages reviling fornication
I became a momentary atheist

“Momentary Atheist” is included in my book “Songs You Can’t Dance To” which is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Songs-You-Cant-Dance-Collection-ebook/dp/B00ATQW5XK
