HAVING COME INTO MONEY, MING THE MERCILESS VISITS GOLGOTHA



The narrow toe of his embroidered slipper
Delicately moves between the skulls
That have been allowed -- or even encouraged --
To litter the paths which, he notes approvingly,
Are curved; no demon can safely walk them.
He recognizes Flash Gordon's skull
And lifts it gently out of the way. Who knows
When it might again be needed?
