Χριστός ἀνέστη!

He came back
To find us doing much the same
As when he left us

Came back and whispered
A few indecipherable words
To the deaf

Came back and performed
A few hackneyed magic tricks
For the blind

Walked on water
To hear everyone say
Plastic kept him afloat

Traveled to hell
Heard his flaring name
On blaring news programs

He said Get behind me
And everyone already
Followed behind

He rose
To the occasion
Of others' stumbling, fainting

He rose
So that we might fall
Into deeper misunderstanding of him
Mark 16, Codex Sinaiticus
