pillar of absalom
 
what’s left of it
char and sin of rebellious sons
hallucinations in the form of some
biblical apparition
 
Telemonday is delirious
 
"Absalom? My friend—third son of David, King of Israel"
 
"if you say so"
 
"this is the Pillar of Absalom"
 
Absalom’s Monument what’s left of it
char and sin of rebellious sons
 
"if you say so"

SAGE, though I had to look up on the web "absalom", at least I did learn what it meant, obviously the same you said in the poem, as you "say so" I have to go along with you and say as well, "IF YOU SAY SO", beyond that I've no idea what the poem means, though it must mean something to you or you wouldn't have written it...Peace, young lady...-e-
