Caesar Is Stabbed in Rome
The UMass people of the West
had done well, and Doc, Pharmacy
80, was pleased to help defray
the costs of bringing the basketball
team to play University of Montana.
He invited Rudge and Charlie, and
picked them up early at their planetarium.
Actually a narrow two-story addition to
the dusty rancher.
There, first, to watch a still of the night sky,
and hear the recorded voice of Charlie,
a Full-Brooded Crow, very slowly announce
“The night sky when Caesar stabbed in Rome.”
“Just lovely!” Doc whispered later in the Ford
Expedition. His compliments were always
deeply felt.
Unknown to them, Charlie’s voice continued,
since Rudge forgot to switch off the sound.
So Caesar kept being stabbed in Rome...
No one in the alley to hear about it.

The Players
-I heard she was black.
-Could be. I don’t know what I am.
-Will he be Caesar or Mark Antony?
-The former is fatter.
-But HE never says “I am dying, Egypt, dying!”
-But he could.
-Role-playing of you two over the years had its boredom and laughs, but I got used to your Jacqueline to his JFK.
-I got tired of her, uh...twenty pounds ago.
-Forty.
-Oh well!..."Is this an asp I see before me?"
-A piece of one, Milady!

The Power of Suburbs
-A trifle queer here and there. But then I married
Stephanie and knocked it off.
-Good knocking there?
-The best!
-And she?
-Not so fidelitous.
-Failure at such thy name is woman!
-The town sent a road crew to repair the intersection,
-And one...?
-Carl, simple and six-packed. Much giggling as he
drinks from the hose she proffers. Once, as twilight
falls, and the water silvering...?
-Pretty, but what did you DO?
-Won him away from her!
-Life-Challenges on Appletree Lane!
-Not so much now, the corner with Kumquat
smooth again.
-And you and Steph?
-Alas! It's Modern Life! Full of splits. Heartaches and
potholes!
-And Carl, the universally tempting? Unfairly presented
by Divinity at weak times?
-The both of us live in the city now and he obeys.
-Caesar will spread his authority?
-At any chance!
