…..I am Caesar, no mere geezer and I suffer from no fever, nor is this a teaser of what is to come, pay no attention to the rocks stuck in my gum, our physicians were dumb, it was lead cups we drunk from, if only our engineers were our physicians, like our murderers were politicians, wish our scientists weren’t so superstitious, like a great many of my peers were suspicious, filled with crippling ambitions, populous cursed with leprosy and psoriasis, I pray to the gods but even our priest sigh at this, I look up at the future only cause you all admire this, like us, you should have listened to the more ancient, I believe their knowledge was written down on thin sheets of papyruses.
