the last Authority saw of me

was my shoes on the ground and a cloud of dust

flying down the road--

now if I only knew how to hunt game

can my fruits

store my vegetables

be part of a community that survived the collapse

of the mad world of the Common Lie--

as it is I may wake shivering one night

in time to see the beast that will end my earthly problems

on me--just like Authority used to do--

a universe full of kings and beasts

right up to the top--
