The others cheer. The last rational man
forces himself to cheer also.
The Emperor’s gaze is boring a hole
through the bellowing air straight towards him.
Then they lead in the Emperor’s horse,
wreathed in garlands like a belly dancer.
I’m making him a Senator!
trills the Emperor. Greet your new brother!
The last rational man finds himself rising.
As he opens his mouth he can see
the red bathwater, his own slit wrists,
his house robbed, his sons headless.
That’s only a horse, he says.
The words hang there
hopelessly, like the banners of a city
already defeated, given over to pillagers.
In what way, thinks the last rational man,
can such a place be said, still, to exist?
