The Next Chapter

The title of the second chapter will be,
“Is Hamlet’s Will His Own?”
Each will be a question
that will be rigorously discussed
but will, of course, never be answered
because of the nature of academic discourse.

The third is something uncertain
I’ve been contemplating for too long.
What will, I wonder, ensure
a natural succession
from the second chapter?
I debate it often, back and forth,
bat it around at will to no end.
I can’t make a decision.
Will I ever’s the sticking point.
We all have deadlines.

The first chapter?
A brilliant blueprint’s the thing.
In it I’ll lay out my grand scheme,
let you know the way the book will go.
It’ll be a solid scheme to execute precisely,
and I’ll make good on it, I assure you.
A best laid plan will always do.
