Atheist Apologia

When the surgeon closes the blinds

When the plane shakes

When your kid is late

When another voice answers your lover’s phone

When you wake up and can’t move

When your team is losing

When you can’t reach their hand

When the baby has a fever

When the train rattles

When the doctor talks to your family

When entering a dark room

When your lover forgets

When class won’t end

When someone falls

When you can’t afford milk

When class won’t end

When the car slides

When breath slides

When When

When.
