This 'Ask' page records a staged logic of religious purity turning into exclusion, racialized hatred, exile, and divine threat.
The cleaned transcript makes the page's progression clearer: purity language hardens into permission, dispossession, and killing. It is important to read this as the poem staging a dangerous voice rather than endorsing it.

Titled 'Ask', this page stages a chilling catechism in which purity-talk slides step by step into atrocity. It begins reasonably enough - 'The way to God', 'God must be clean', 'God must be as in the beginning' - then hardens through 'change isn't to much' and 'we will keep to ourselves' into the exclusion 'Except for the Jews', and finally into expulsion: Jews are 'intolerable', must be 'dispot' and 'let to wander as a sure scurage', closing on the threat 'Or God will keep on killing'. The poem is best read as ventriloquizing a monstrous logic - the gentle liturgical opening makes the descent into eliminationist 'reasoning' the horror it exposes rather than endorses.
