Vernon Eugene at the Civil War Roundtable

William Robison

Vernon Eugene almost gets his ass whipped
clowning at the Civil War Roundtable
telling the white mustachioed colonels

lips dripping blood from sixteen-ounce T-bones
the theme for next year’s lectures ought to be
‘Queering the War of Northern Aggression’

laughs his stringy-haired skinny self silly
making up prospective presentations
‘Come back to the tent, Private Finn, honey’

or ‘Bobby Lee and the wee drummer boy:
flim-flam paradiddles, lover’s snares, and
tickling the high-hat with stiff wire brushes’

khaki-vest bald-head red-faced Collins
spits out half-masticated potatoes
with sour cream and bellows ‘That’s heresy’

Esther falls down in a dead faint, ‘Oh, my
Lawd, Scarlet’s got the vapors,’ shrills Vernon
and makes a farting sound with tongue twixt lips

tiptoe dancing the hallway, he offers
‘How the Lonely Bull Runs Up Manassas’
flees the fierce fusillade of fisticuffs

cackling ‘Blow me, said the gay cannoneer’
at the French door fires a final volley
‘So, boys, why you think they call it Stonewall?’
