(hi)story needs characters

the rubicon crossers 

are few and far gone

no crassy, pomp or ceez

to tug the sleepy sheets 

of history

to iron them, make waves, beds

or dirty them

hang them high

dry, threads uncounted

for the weavers have

gone, fled or dead

and no need for sleep stands 

instead two feet suffice

or six (can work best)

Author's Note

Crassy = Marcus Licinius Crassus
Pomp = Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus
Ceez = Gaius Julius Caesar
