When God Is Trumped By a Lemon

I don't need God today,
Just a pitcher of water
a couple of rays of lemon
chilled in the fridge
to heavenize 
the lips.
Such a simple thing, a glass of chilled bliss.
No, I don't need God today, but tomorrow may be different. 

Is it blasphemous to tell a simple truth?
For this little treasure chest 
of simple pleasures that I sip.
Does it really make God pissed?
Tomorrow may very well be different
but for today God was trumped by a lemon.
