Royal Dano’s Death Scene ‘tis of Thee
DOUGLAS, STEPHEN A. (1813-1861)
(Poem-a Obscura)

CEE

Little Giant, my little giant
I’ve said so much of thee,
Little is left to impart of import
But for this:
THE NEXT SOUNDS YOU READ
WILL BE THOSE OF AMERICANS
LIVING ON AN EARTH WHERE IT WAS
LINCOLN WHO DIED PREMATURELY
AND DOUGLAS WHO WAS ELECTED
OUR 16th PRESIDENT:
“...(fire, crackling)...
(scratch of boots against slate)...
#KAFFuff#...#sneeeef!!#...
...(yawn trails into a whimper)...
(distant cry, epithets, gunshot, shrieking cry,
more and roaring epithets, two gunshots)...
(heavy exhale)...#Uh-HUPPUCKuuh#...
(a sifting of something the consistency of cinders)...
(a sob choked back, escapes as clearing of throat)
...(background nearby, breathing ala Darth Vader)
...(broken glass being snapped)...”

...And what you read, Gentle Reader,
Is Okay by Me
I pray every day for nuclear war
God Rest Stephen A. Douglas
