Like the Jews in Warsaw

Fritz Hamilton

Like the Jews in Warsaw, the
Nazis that run my bldg are soon to
enter my room & destroy it/ to

replace my floor & paint my walls &
throw out my property accumulated for
centuries/ Jesoo has ratted on me to

the Huns/ they’ll take everything, like
all my mss gathered from prelapsarian
times/ they’ll throw them out with all my

pet roaches/ then they’ll stuff me into
a cattle car with all their human cargo &
off to Auschwitz or Belsen we’ll go/

since I’m 74 & bound for the eternal
garbage soon anyway, they probably
won’t allow me to make the trip/ they’ll

shoot me beside the railroad track &
leave my rats & roaches without a dad/ they
won’t allow me to work, starve & freeze

to death for human purity/ instead
the ride for me will be over before I
even make it/ they don’t realize they’re

already dead, & so am I/ that
God is dead & was before we invented
Him & made up that absurd myth of

the virgin birth & all that wise suffering before
the crucifixion & the Easter bunny, &
if I lie dead beside the track, Jesoo lies

dead in his Easter basket, no matter how
many eggs you might find, because
after it’s all over, it never began, &

thank the murdered Lord that
you’re nothing, just like Jesoo &
his Daddy/

nothing, sweet

nothing, just

nothing ...
