Mister Burg
Clerk. Missus
Because She
Simply Cannot
Read. Mister
Approximately
Association, and
his colleague,
the hardhearted
and mysterious
Mr. Every After-
noon. Professor
Colleague, who
often learns to
live (approx-
imately here).
Missus Dis-
associate, at
tea, with Mr.
Every After-
noon, most
evenings. At
just about
half past 1700,
shortly be-
fore eating,
Mister High
Above the
Pacific thinks
about eating.
He thinks of
each and every
restaurant in
Heartbreak
City, a cozy
flat, lush
jut of land
that spreads
in every
direction
from Mister
Annexed and
Mister Inc-
orporated’s
architecturally
au curaunt
castle,
which
sits high
above the
Pacific
Ocean at
cliff’s edge
(with ocean
view) of this
lush, flat
jut of
heartbroken
but gorgeous
land. Mister
Actuality
is not even
a citizen
of the
annexed
and inc-
orporated
city of
discombob-
ulated heart-
break. Bob
the Inter-
national
Treaty’s
back itches.
It drives him
bonkers. The
host, Mister
Sommelier,
turns to Mister
Downturned
and Missus
Long Faces.
Mister Lobster,
who was married
by The Reverend
Year of Our Lord,
in the Year of Our
Lord Nineteen
Hundred and
Sixty-seven,
sits at the
cliff’s edge
alongside Mr.
Smug and Mrs.
Corner of
Mouth. It is
not even a city.
Too teeny-tiny.
But it is lush
and it is
beautiful
and it is theirs.
At the celebration,
the anniversary
of the annexation,
Mister and Missus
Swift and Bloodless
graciously
thank the
hired help.
Doctor Iconic
shuffles home,
which is directly
across the street
from the stadium.
From high atop
the lighthouse
here in lovely
Heartbreak City,
the tenders of
bar, Ambassador
Unbeknownst
and Mayor
Disc Jockey,
are arrested.
