it was twelvethirtyfour

he poured himself three fingers  as easy as 1 2 3  4

not usually the time he would imbibe

he hoped the whisky would take the edge off 

itd been growingseemingly malignant since the beginning of the year

                                                                         The Year of Our Lord 2020

how cavalier it rolls off their tongues the fascist Believers

                                                              a game of I Got a Secret gone rabid telling a secret a message to either the person left or right and they repeat it to whomever is sitting beside them and then its related to the next secret-teller

finally the Word comes back around to the Teller 

                                                    it isnt what they shared

which could be invigorating

                              ones secret is forever safe never to be disclosed despite blatantly revealing it

 

the Church has manipulated secrets all its existence

                                                        who would trust an organisation lets not endow it religious mysticism who would trust an organisation that cant keep its Ps and Qs aligned in order which operates on the enduring gullibility of its wishful-thinkers

                                              its flock

 

he fingered religion Christianity in particular though all religions indubitably have fucked the world with their irrational teachings

           all the way back to Leucippus the teacher and Democritus of Abdera the student and those who followed and whose collective knowledge the Church decried as blasphemy and defiled and razed   

if the world had persisted in their scientific acumentheir visionary studies their footprints the one thousandtwo thousands years lost 

                        the world might not be toeing the threat of an apocalypse

                                                                                     although to be sure the Church religion has always whetted its whistlestroked its cock to its obscene beauty of Armageddon if not called something else

America is abysmal for its religious beliefs its non-science

if it had only happened in the 60s

he would have found a nice overlook cool grass shade trees  up above it all

                                                                                  and packed his pipe with hashish and laughed to tears as it slaughtered itself

if it found him

                hed walk on air
