I like this brief poem a lot, although I admit to not finding the connection to Caligula (and I presume the reference is to the Caligula).

Starward, I'm pretty sure I was shit-faced hammered drunk when I wrote this and was reading about the Roman Empire. No real connection other than that. Or maybe there was and I just can't remember...?

Thank you, sir, for the reply. I hope my comment did not seem like a criticism: I thought, instead, that I was either missing some detail, or just badly misreading the poem. I have loved ancient history---the Roman empire and, within it, the early Christians---and during my last two undergrad years, I spent a lot of time reading about the first five emperor, Augustus through Nero. So your poem definitely caught my eye.

Not at all, my friend! I took it as a compliment. :) Sometimes I have a mischievous streak in me and like to play little pranks like that anyway. Knowing me, and the place I was in then, I may have even titled this Caligula to get someone to stop and think needlessly in circles! Hope you don't mind bearing the brunt of it, should it be that was the case! Always appreciate your commentary, it's actually helped motivate me to write more. By the way, Dear Little Evan, #3 just posted. It was maybe the hardest one to write yet. Let me know what you think when you get the time.
Respectfully,
Evan

Thank you. And no, I didn't mind bearing the brunt (although I did not think of it as a brunt at all). I am going to see the new Little Evan now.
