The Last Night Of The Earth Poems - Plot & Excerpts
sometimes he thinks he’s the Pope. other times he thinks he’s a hunted rabbit and hides under the bed. then all at once he’ll recapture total clarity and begin creating works of art. then he’ll be all right for some time. then, say, he’ll be sitting with his wife and 3 or 4 other people discussing various matters he will be charming, incisive, original. then he’ll do something strange. like once he stood up unzipped and began pissing on the rug. another time he ate a paper napkin. and there was the time he got into his car and drove it backwards all the way to the grocery store and back again backwards the other motorists screaming at him but he made it there and back without incident and without being stopped by a patrol car. but he’s best as the Pope and his Latin is very good. his works of art aren’t that exceptional but they allow him to survive and to live with a series of 19-year-old wives who cut his hair his toenails bib tuck and feed him.
