"Building the Holiday Stage" -- an Easter Themed Poem from David Pointer


Building the Holiday Stage

David S. Pointer

 

John’s oft burnt lab coat

and facial transplantee

mannequin were beyond

refurbishing, so he asked

us off-season Halloween

workers to take a cord of

his best worm hole wood

to build the Christ another

Crucifixion cross display to

be worn by a rented actor

sporting a humanized rabbit

suit retailored for Easter

Sunday resurrection or some

plastic egg hunt underground
