meanwhile, anne bonny was asleep and peacefully dreaming
and alice wonderbar was reading an agatha christie novel
tony nevada was sitting in a sports bar weeping into his beer
unknown to anybody, the martians had landed
but cathy carson had had just about enough
*
daniel boone was completely bewildered by it all
outside in the distance, the cry of a newborn child was heard
anne bonny was waiting for the 44 bus
carmen sanchez, the babysitter, suddenly remembered her homework
the doorbell rang
on a distant planet carmen’s double woke up
dr merlin was losing patience
mike fink wrote a letter to the san francisco examiner, complaining about the city’s treatment of the homeless
*
i got you under my skin
do you really care if the world comes to an end?
does anybody care where the treasure is buried?
frankie and johnny put everything they had on buddy boy in the fifth race
billy the lion fell down dead at the bar when buddy boy won
down by the river mama roo bided her time
the stranger sat down at a table by himself
marie laveau politely told the stranger to leave
carmen sanchez left a note on the coffee table and wandered out into the night
mr wonderbar suddenly remembered playing badminton in the fog with archie carter in london during the war
you know, some people will complain if they get hanged with a brand new rope
and, that’s all, folks
frankie and johnny were lovers
