Ezra Explains

A Work in Progress
17

Then 

news came from the harbor

Cleopatra’s fleet was returning 

with Octavian in hot pursuit

Mark Antony defeated at Actium

his legions deserting him

Glenn Hughes’ script

had jumped ahead in time to Egypt 

leaving myth behind

where in a break from rehearsing

drinking mint tea off set 

Donal asked Ezra about the situation

and Ezra having once been on the fascist side

explained

Cleo was defeated

That time fascism won

Egypt was annexed

An Empire was born
