"the trough" pairs a low, bodily container or channel with the direct invocation "Hey Apostle."

Because the page is so fragmentary, its force comes from abrupt juxtaposition. The upper phrase grounds the page in a trough, something humble and material, while "Hey Apostle" sounds half greeting and half accusation, as if the speaker were calling holiness down into a rougher, more improvised world.

A near-empty page where everything rides on juxtaposition: the lowercase header 'the trough,' something humble and bodily, set against the abrupt call 'Hey Apostle.' The greeting reads as half-hailing, half-summons, calling holiness down into a rougher, more material world.
