information overload. i thot I was the only one who could gallivant after the 22nd (to %^$&# with the S-papers =). darn you physics slackers.

I throw my lot in
(kiss) The one

Wasn't he the one
Whose pockets jangled
With thirty silver pieces?

Aint he one of those young men
Ambling behind that Nazarene who
Asked us to take the straight and narrow?

He is the one and
His hands still unwashed
sauce and bread smeared on
his fingers.

Stained now with the blood of the Nazarene
that hung on the cross
as he now hangs on the tree

Maybe the lashings
the spitting
the sweat stinging raw flesh
the rust encrusted bone embedded nails
Sum of these was less
That that lone, dry lipped
Kiss.
