MODUS PONENS

If lies 
make baby 
Jesus cry, 

what would 
make him 
laugh—the truth?

Would shyness 
soothe? Or 
verbal abuse? 

Mirth is not 
a thing 
to cling too

tightly to, 
anyway, I think 
he'd say. Why, 

seems like just 
the other day 
his friends

ignored him 
til he cried. Then 
flattered him 

until he puked. 
And lastly
told him: if P, 

then Q; if on
our side, then 
crucified.
