Hick:
"Got the mail. Here's a list of 'Easter Fun Facts,' straight from
Jesus.
Did you know He suffered from 'Dysfunction, Resurrectile,'
until His Father threw a thunderbolt projectile?
It broke the stone to pieces--"
Willie:
"--'and scared all the feces
out of Magdalen, Peter, and John the Reptile'?
No, I didn't know that. Let me open their 'Dreck File'--
maybe there's a paparazzi shot where Mary 'V's us."
Hick:
"You're disgusting. Did you know if you have a Resurrection
lasting longer than 'Eternity'
by Calvin Klein, you should consult an attorney?
Or that John Calvin was saved in a run-off election?"
Willie:
"Well, he had a lot of followers. He was a Twitterer,
after all. Is that from the 'Atheist Collective'? Do they want
money?
Okay, I'll lighten up and try to be funny--
although the guy who wrote 'Snowbound' was Whittier."
-- Jim Cummins
After such knowledge, what forgiveness? That's what I want to know. Are you channeling Yeats or what?

Short answer: yes. Actually, doing a Hic and Ille thing for an online arts magazine; I write one of these each month. The trope is that Hick and Willie are midwestern art critics. This is about the fifth or sixth, I think; the magazine is "aeqai". (This one was deemed too offensive to possible Christian donors to the mag, in a fundraising-drive month.) And no, no forgiveness (but such a mild transgression).

I thought Willie was Yates. Or Maze.
