I am no less a propagandist than you. I understand the impulse to  
spend hours at a sleepy train station for the chance to spread your

gospel to a handful of indifferent passers-by. I too have good news and  
bad news to share. I too think myself wiser than, more enlightened than.

I too seek to bend the world to my will. Where we differ, I fear, is that  
you don’t know this work does more for us than for others: perhaps

that is why you don’t laugh at my jokes, why you are dressed not as one  
who knows the secrets of God—riotously joyful, I would imagine—

but as one who wants humanity to *believe* you know the secrets of God.  
My friends, have you ever wondered what would happen if all were to

convert to our cause? I, atheist poet saving the climate, you, believers  
saving souls: how bored we would soon grow! Not far from this station,

the Pacific’s waters gleam, beautifully, miraculously indifferent to our  
exhortations. As we chat, wars rage on, the saved and unsaved alike die

as they always have, always will. Let us be careful with our powers,  
my friends. This is a serious business we are in. So very serious.
