when you and i argued,
and you lost,
does that mean my god
was proficient
at logic and language?
when you and i quarreled,
and you kept quiet,
does that mean your god
wasn’t good at shouting?
when you and i threw stones
at each other,
and your rock smashed my head,
does that mean
your god could aim better?
when you and i grappled
with each other
and i pinned you down,
does that mean
your god is a bad wrestler?
when you and i fell out of love,
and the children hurt,
does that mean their god
is bit of a sissy?
when you and i played
football, and i whipped
your skinny backside,
does that mean
my god was a better bully?
and then,
when you and i kill
each other
with atomic bombs,
will that finally mean
that your god and mine
are equal?
