Scope and Contents

The poem consists of a single line, 'and every hair on your head shall be numbered repetitively overtyped.' This line is modified from Matthew 10:29-31 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don?t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
