How Tragedy Is Defined in Advanced Societies
Kit, First Rate,
working for a Second
Rate Company
producing Third Rate Products
in a Fourth Rate City
of a Fifth Rate State.
Marries a Sixth Rater,
and they move to a Seventh Rate Suburb.
Can this go on?
Exploded when reaching Twentieth Rate.
Personally.
Oh yes! After all, how long can immunity last?
Doing well considering such a descent, but will
never get back to First.
Maybe Third?
Thirds are much beloved!

Standoff
The man who believed in nothing met
the woman who rejected everyone
Hey! A month
& they're still
instructing
each other.
If they run out,
worlds await!

The History of Obsession---an insignificant fable
A strikes B in his vulnerable area, Pride.
A gloating, and B too downcast to play
retribution fantasies. Soon, however, he
starts assembling them.
They dominate for years. Opportunities
do occur, which he turns aside as trivial.
Finally, A killed by an old lady fresh from
passing her driver’s exam. He had been
crossing a rainy intersection towards
The Tuscany and dinner with his fiancé.
B happy enough, but fuddled. The gorge for revenge
still, strangely, rises.
The last of his friends leave. Too much anger
at imagined slights.
He plots against them, but, hardly the quality of
his Grand Obsession. Loses the thread.

Horses
shot out from under
during the personal war
include, most obviously,
Pride. In daily skirmish,
they decline and fall
without names.
