Much of the 'Atheism' that I accept,
because I accept the folk who profess it,
owes more than is admitted to people
trying to dump their pasts,
the stuff of their metaphorical back yards,
anywhere but home. Only to find said place
refills-with what they threw out, returned recycled
and in worse condition for being unrefreshed.
When folks try to present their lives as all-new
as if they have never been where they are now,
we know that denial is close, just behind them.
