THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS

Just before
the end—whatever 
was it?

a crusty Polonius-Judas
confided 
so readily—

to the doughy old mom
and the oily
stepfather—of a 

poor and un- 
interestingly strung-
out young Jesus 

Christ-Hamlet figure?

Something 
about how—leavening 
is the soul of bread,

and though 
the kid's last
supper may have

been done a little faster—
sadly,

it was over 
all the sooner for it;

and there was still just
so much—
method in it

that it 
was hardly satisfying—let alone 
worth it.
