He sees,
Or thinks he sees,
A ghost.
He dresses
Entirely in black.
He has been off
Studying
(In Wittenberg no less)
He philosophizes,
quite brilliantly in fact.
He is creeped out
By female sexuality
And is psychologically
Brutal to his girlfriend
And his own mother.
He murders.
He theologizes at times.

Why then does he
Never pray?

The rest is indeed
Silence
(Let those who have
Ears to hear, hear!)

Hamnet's father
Doesn't say.
