5: Simon of Cyrene carries the cross
Impatient soldiers seek out volunteers
to take up the cross out of pity,
until a predictable target appears -
a stranger from some other city.
Simon steps over and lifts up the wood,
impelled by a clear resolution
to do this longsuffering person some good
by aiding his swift execution.
