Scriptural Textual Analysis Applied to Act II of Macbeth

 

The Book of Steve Jobs 43:13-16

 

“Oh, no, Mr. Hall!

It’s right here in the Bible!” she exclaimed

Standing up suddenly from her desk

Eagerly waving her MePhone aloft

 

And then she paused

Appeared to be slightly embarrassed

Laughed

Took a selfie

 

And laughed some more

 

As did we all

August - June - poem

August - June

They are but faces, not even faces
But ovoid fuzzes like the innocents
In crime photographs (he was a quiet man
Who kept to himself, but his lawn was neat)

As term progresses their faces fill in
With the lines and colors of their stories
And when each story is brought up to date
Like Hamelin’s children they disappear

The years erase the chalkboard, but faces,
Faces and stories, linger forever
