shame the devil:
"let me just get my
thoughts in order"
means
privileging one
above all the others.
*
Can you pick out
the savior
on the cross
from the other two actors,
hired to re-enact
our anger?
"Will the real necromancer
please stand up
and roll away
the stone,
then come
for our brains?!"
*
We "weren't there"
in scare quotes
sounds so benign,
sounds close enough
for jazz—
close as
innocence
and indifference,
which
don't strictly
rhyme—but
kind of?
