Sitting outside the medical centre,
waiting four hours until the dentist's
appointment, I read Burnett's
Little Caesar. A book that ends
where later mob epics would begin,
the protagonist glimpsing the heights
and kicked down to a back alley
to die. After the Corleones,
we have come to expect more,
Caesar becoming an Emperor.
