Another meta-poem

Pen-ultimate scene (Broken word experiment. Damn, lousy puns)
That only glass -
That John* has to 'drank' from (fucked up line, tense busted purposefully, needs edit) -
Fell down
Broke
Its 'handil' (phonemic transcription, needed or not?)
Last Night (capital misused purposefully)
Well...
He's no Hamlet (echo, allusion, anachronism)
This; no great matter (reference, intertextuality)
When e'en 'is life (archaism, foreshortening for double meaning)
Like so many another's (damn simile, usage broken)
Is only (or all?) brok-en 'andle (Broken word experiment, foreshortening, article 'a 'needed or not?)
With no (to break the line here or not to break the line is the question)
Cup
{{{{{{{Attached
Fallen
Shattered (Rolling Stones song)
To 'smith'reeens' ('e' misnumbered on purpose, contraction through apostrophe only stylistic flourish?)
Long back}}}}}} (Last five lines should be thrown out)

The Baptist

Final draft for now.

Pen-ultimate scene

The only glass
That John* has
Fell down
Broke
Its handle
Last night

Well...

He's no Hamlet
This; no great matter
When e'en 'is life
Like so many another's
Is a brok-en 'andle
With
No
Cup.

*The Baptist
