… of the Apostles

Later, I blasphemed by thinking
John the Apostle was awful

cute, at least in the movie,
but before that I just puzzled

over what he and Peter were
gonna do with that axe seeing

as they didn’t chop Jesus
down from that cross despite

all those chances (something
something about Romans
and lots of dice like Yahtzee)

but when you have a hatchet,
doesn’t every tree look like lumber?
