I am a single 49-year-old university student pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree. I have finished my third year at the university. My major is history and I have been learning to read, write, speak, and understand German as my minor. This year, I am going to Germany as an exchange student in order to master the German language. In the past, I have worked on railroad maintenance, as a courier/messenger, as a construction worker, as a meat cutter at a pork plant, as a shipper/receiver, and most recently as an Academic Writing Tutor at the university. I spend most of my free time reading books and I watch some sports on television when I am not studying or doing assignments.

THE SCENE: Gethsemane.
PART I
JESUS - The Disciples:
Peter, Peter, dwellest upon the sleeve? ¹
Even these stones with dewey drops grieve.
Mainstay these brothers; kneeled-petitions plead,
Mine sorrow laboreth in the worst degree. –
Endure this hour which for a moment is here;
For, lo, the Forces of the Night draw ominously near. -
Knowest not yet the sentinels bitter end?
Tis Sleep!, Sleep!, Death’s cajoling, charm’ed friend.
Guilt-shamed, abashed, all a-flush, blanched-grey,
Faulting the other, each reproaches inveighs; -
But their sleepy awareness and sheepish chagrin,
Make these random excuses seem flaccid and thin.
And as they rub their worn eyes, and half-stiffened limbs,
He bids them be vigilant and stay wakeful for him.
Thence wandering away, lost, returning he crept:
A distraught sigh of distracted step. –
Fading slowly from sight; into Olivet’s thick maze;
(A darkened retreat for one trapped and half-crazed),
As The Man flees the light; he senses his death,
For he sees in each shadow some presence or threat:
Some skulking Silohuette; some Specter that stirs,
(Half-something, half-nothing, half-image, half-blur).
By his dread of the morrow, he’s unnerved and unhinged,
Causing
