From the first book we ever published, POETRY AFTER 9/11: AN ANTHOLOGY OF NEW YORK POETS.
THE SKEPTIC
Colette Inez
I am the free-thinker who reads Voltaire.
A photograph of Karl Marx adorns my piano.
I quote from Robert Ingersoll's "Why I Am an Agnostic."
"I doubt therefore I am" never said by Pascal,
yet I am and I doubt any interpretation
of god that doesn't also describe him as a symbolic
tribal father hurling biblical rancor at the nations.
I doubt his alleged only son as anything more than a
dissident perched in fictive heaven
among angels who sometimes fly down to earth to keep drunks
and debtors from jumping into rivers.
I doubt celestial virgins will visit the men who ate pizza
in Florida, shopping smart at discount stores.
Consigned to the zero of null, they are specks of ash alongside those they killed in the name of their divinity.
I want to put an extra "O" between G O and D, I'll pray to that: love, friends, music, books, reason and beauty.
