Four Ways of Looking at a Table
I
Christ overthrew the tables
of the money lenders
in all four gospels.
The Beatitudes
are only in two.
II
Two
is the minimum number
of sides of a table
in this universe.
III
The table stands.
There is no one sitting.
There is no one in the room.
IV
The abacus fell
from the table
and ruined his calculations.
