OF COURSE

by Gabriel Squailia


Of course there are atheists in foxholes, 
they're all suicidal, and of course there are
two snowflakes shaped the same, 
they just melted, and Schrödinger's cat
is observing you too, you know, 
and she sees a little lie in every truth you tell
and a great big truth in all the lies, 
and I'm the atheist in the foxhole, 
and I'm also a liar, so thank God
the new Pope says it's okay.
