Oh I'm loving the drama. 
This has been a deliciously entertaining way to unveil a poem. It's like poetry theater, the "will he won't he/to be or not to be," lots of angst and mystery, The twist where a poem is playing the villain instead of the hero ... all leading up to an Indian Jones worthy cipher where a treasure awaits the first person who cracks it. This is one of my favorite poems ever. I don't know if this is all "part of the poem" the way some artists incorporate the audience as part of the art, but either way, it's been grand. Having the poem be nearly indecipherable is a perfect ending.
