Analysis of Shall I Quote Certain Scriptures (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Shall I Quote Certain Scriptures   (Bussokusekika)

What’s Newton’s third law
What of the lamb or the ox
And what of the day
Thee day of visitation
Of course this could be hogwash
Shall I quote certain scriptures

About this poem

Of certain scriptures…Isaiah 10:3…Jeremiah 46:21…Jeremiah 50:27…Micah 7:4…And what could this possibly have to do with Jeremiah 11…Well…Read very closely between the lines after verse 19…As IF I am the lamb or ox of said verse…And my family was not the tree…keywords…visitation and perplexity…Wow…words seem to continue to vanish into thin air around here…
