Atheism's Easier

Abstain from staring too long at the sky. Stick to screens, little keyboards; block out birds with private earbuds; never hear the wind breathe harder. Watch TV. Always drive. Try to avoid a night outside in ladled moonlight, glowing broth. Eschew solitude; 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's easier.

"Bioluminescence is a Big Word" by Stephen Cushman

for tiny cells and tissues  fermenting with an enzyme  inside the abdomen of the very first firefly  this spring, the only one floating  above the dark acres of a derelict farm  on a muggy May evening. Could be a scout  charged by the others with patrolling the fields,  in bad need of mowing, for non-flying females  on the ground or in bushes, who seeing him beam  the correct species signal, answer right back  in codes of their own. Or maybe he’s eager,  this soft-bodied beetle, and impressively potent.  Whatever the case, how can they call  a device for mating heatless light?  And why dub him lightning bug  when his guttering glow has less in common  with blinding bolts than blinking yellow  at midnight intersections, caution, caution  flashed out here against the black  to steady the pulse in spite of all risk  inherent in chemistry, no matter how small.
