On the carefully placed statue
Meanwhile
The chocolate bar wrappers
Blow off the table
Even without forensic evidence
Or access to DNA testing
The poet could be considered culpable
And therefore named
As the number one suspect
And he is ok with that
For being named number one at anything
Is a step forward
Although it is true he did not hide
The individual Apple Loaves
He cannot now find the very same
Instead he drinks his tea
Watches the bubbles of the fountain
Turn into circular ripples
Across the pond’s surface
All the while
Listening to the water cascading
Down the irregular
Collection of stones
Which make up the main display
