sitting behind wall-mounted degrees
in an air-conditioned office,
you seem almost human
you are not bathed in a spiritual glow
standing on the bimah
guttural Hebrew chants escaping your lips
head bowed in prayer
no, you sit before me
with wrinkles and sunspots
and tired eyes
and you look less sacred than before
I tell you why I haven't stepped
inside the sanctuary in a year
you seem to understand
you call my newfound agnosticism
a mature
thoughtful decision,
and here am I
without the heart to confess
that it's a choice based
on my adolescent unwillingness
to surrender my friday nights
