Notes from Hamlet

It was Hamlet I think it was said
“Gertrude, honey, if you ain’t got no self-respect
you best run out and rent some”

It was Hamlet I think it was said
“I knows hollow
I knows hollow when I hears it rattle.”

It was Hamlet I think it was said
“I have of late, and wherefore I know not,
lost all my mirth, why now, Horatio
when it all seems so laughable”

–1987
