What happened was, he says, is

Rhitta Gawr

the hairy hubris king

so full of mirthless humor

and narcissistic self-regard

who would stare between two mirrors

and see himself falling into infinity

erotic vertigo kicking in

tyrannosaurus sex

got a tell-him-gram from King Arthur's page

(ex, ax)

challenging the tyrant of tyrants

(think capo of capos)

to a take-all turf war

that Rhitta couldn't refuse

for Arthur the last resistant king alive
