Nature abhors a vacuum theorists of both philosophy and	A
politics assure us	B
	-
What's more the phenomena is not confined to mere	C
physical science given the nature of human opportunism	D
Glance a map of central Europe for further insights One	E
side always replaced the other when a common enemy	F
expired	G
	-
Boca might well have studied such eventualities	B
	-
Boca was a writer More accurately a touch dancer with	H
the written phrase deftly painting the catchy one liner with	H
effortless ease and grace Boca knew his craft be it the	I
arena of story poem drama it didn't matter the genre	I
Unfortunately his oeuvre remained fixed and static Boca	I
never progressed beyond titles	B
	-
A right jolly good thing too said Boca in his own	J
defense	B
	-
The short burst counted most whether in thought sport or	K
field of battle The utterance of a single breath That was	B
it It all lay in the aside the pun a retort the r cit If this	B
were all to the story there would be no doubt whatsoever	L
Boca excelled	M
	-
In the briefest expression perhaps said the critics But	N
as they were quick to point out it didn't lead anywhere	O
	-
Where is the larger more important fruit His finished	P
verbal passion intoned one	E
	-
Still this chance fortune led to the inspiration and success	B
of unusually vivid titles	B
	-
But titles Just titles said others nervously Yes	B
proclaimed Boca Titles Not epithets or rejoinders	B
cat calls even repartee	F
	-
Not even wit in the normal understanding of the term Just	Q
mere titles Bushel baskets of them Worried looks crept	R
onto the onlookers' faces	B
	-
Encyclopaedic came the flowering Ad factories should	S
have tapped such a larder Any creative department could	S
have done worse than with Boca's dripping imagery and gift	T
for the keynote phrase	B
	-
There is majesty here said one and more than a little	U
Blake I am reminded of the great symbolists	B
	-
One has to be practical cautioned still another What's	B
here is hardly epigrammatic or even purely an aphorism in	V
any truer sense of the word	W
	-
I'm simply perplexed said the man finally to his	B
colleague and both left without further ado or thought to	X
Boca's work	Y
	-
Indeed Boca loved his words tinkering with the very	F
essence of language	Z
	-
A great beginning cheered a rare voice Let's hope one	E
without premature end	A2
	-
Boca continued to conceive titles by the hundreds He	F
didn't merely dream up a few in snatches he proliferated	B2
them in vaster and vaster quantities It was if a salmon left	C2
to spawn could endanger a sea shelf or river bed under the	I
sheer quantity of her seed	D2
	-
A one man explosion at the typewriter chortled an	E2
onlooker happening to see the quantity of Boca's largesse	B
That was before he stopped to inquire of the nature of	F2
Boca's work Then perturbed this same man hurried away	G2
to the utter indifference of Boca who kept a steady	F
pounding in spite of the interruption	E
	-
On they came More and more titles By the hundreds	B
for scripts larger dramas treatises epistles monologues	B
All And all without a scarce concern for their ultimate use	B
	-
Are we to believe each one came to naught as the sceptics	B
predicted After all in this practical world who has use for	K
dreamers We already know Boca was stymied at the title	U
level Nothing ever graced his newborn creation beyond	H2
that first utterance It was like sending a baby into the	I
world without proper bedding or clothes	B
	-
One nastier commentator even alluded to Boca's work as	B
the equivalent of premature ejaculation All buildup with	H
no satisfaction The promise he chuckled without the	I
delivery	F
	-
And that is what came to pass	B
	-
Each of Boca's titles true to prediction came to naught	I2
or rather nothing much Blank A zero With each title	U
one ran aground on the larger abyss of its central problem	D
	-
That being as Boca had been warned by his legion of	F2
critics one of size	B
	-
What good are titles without textual description chapters	B
scenes the overview said one literary agent gruffly	F
	-
Boca taking a respite from his typewriter had had the	I
temerity to approach one such man in the comfort of his	B
office with reams of suggestions	B
	-
Indeed	D2
	-
People shook their heads at Boca always scribbling	J2
furiously Always working but apparently accomplishing	J2
precious next to nothing Something was evidently being	J2
done in the strictest sense of the word but what What	N
	-
Could his well problem be explained one vocal	U
opponent of Boca urged	K2
	-
What the hell is he up to	X
	-
Strangely enough for the seemingly longest time this did	B2
not deter Boca He was his own universe His feet were	L
on solid ground The air about him teemed with ideas He	F
was too busy fishing for the mot juste he explained in	V
a moment of clarification	E
	-
One man in the right is a majority proclaimed Boca	I
remembering a snippet of John Stuart Mill	L2
	-
Too busy was Boca replanning the structure of the	I
Colosseum so it might better accommodate his label his	B
notion his re christened version of the ideal verbal escort	M2
to accompany that ancient edifice	B
	-
And write Boca did Titles fell increasingly from his pen	N2
	-
The Barking Tree	F
	-
The Leaking River	L
	-
These were but two Boca thought he would improve on	O2
Tolkein's efforts at least in the direction of title After all	P2
to send a work into the reader's lap without proper	L
introduction was like trying to get acquainted without the	I
proper introduction	E
	-
Maybe Boca had a point	Q2
	-
Assembly without Hope and Nirvana without End	A2
touched on his mystical stage He dropped this and	A
proceeded into the area of historiography And afterwards	B
dry epistemology would see him concentrate his efforts	B
These forums were indeed worthy of his attention Too	X
long had they been neglected All were in need of good	S
metaphoric dusting by title	U
	-
At last word Boca was inching toward Kant's Critique of	F2
Pure Reason	E
	-
That one in particular has a poor ring he was heard to	X
say	B
	-
On they came Precise Hard hitting or so he thought	I2
They made the mind's eye swell with the promise of more	K
and more Indeed that eye could get bloodshot reading	J2
all of Boca's interception	E
	-
But the more in the sense of the follow up the delivery	F
or accompaniment of pages never came	R2
	-
Nowhere was there to be found the Hemingway to follow	S2
the Moveable Feast	T2
	-
Or The Edible Woman	E
	-
Even the promise of thrillers for a scary submarine epic like	U2
Three Eggs on my Plate never materialized	V2
	-
Nothing Just titles More then more and increasingly	F
more of them Annoyingly so Scraps of paper decorating	J2
a table without an intended victim ever coming close	B
	-
It was as if so many salesgirls had left price tags off	W2
matching merchandise That's all that remained Just the	I
stickers forlornly white and detached staring up from their	O
adhesiveness	B
	-
More than just a little tacky	F
	-
A woman given to comparison confronted Boca	I
	-
Imagine a zoo where the curators had all the animal	U
names but they were not paired with their owners That's	B
your stuff Everything in a weird isolation	E
	-
Boca could not be Borca and not even Carl Sagan could	S
rescue him No large bottles floating in formaldehyde with	H
the decapitated heads from Belle Epoque sailors were	L
possible here	X2
	-
Boca was more obscure than Gaspirilla Island More so	B
	-
And a final verdict if there is need for one can be seen in	V
Boca's last will and testimony	F
	-
He let it be known of his intention to chisel the ultimate	N
one liner One to grace his own tombstone On this he set	Y2
to work with a last burst of frenzy	F
	-
To mirror my tragic comic fate as he would have said	Z2
	-
Perhaps Boca is still at work either on the snappy final	U
wording the right elasticity or in the mechanics of the	I
engraving itself	A3
	-
Only a stone cutter could estimate the probable expenditure	L
in time for the latter	L
	-
Novelists in dire need of fresh insights should enlist Boca	I
He's definitely available if difficult to reach	B3
	-
Boca might have rescued many a masterpiece from the	I
dustbin if not the Box Office had his specialty been	V
known	J
	-
I look at Boca and hear fire bells His plight remains the	I
very stuff of tragedy By epic standards how many Bocas	F
are there worthy of a balladeer and myth maker Credible	U
Boca may be but understandable	U
	-
Boca the metaphoric equivalent of a Sisyphus chained to	X
his rock of obsession	E
	-
This horrible rock or pebble depending on your	K
viewpoint wailed Boca	I
	-
I've become my own obstacle my work is the	I
personification of my own limitation	E
	-
Worse imprisoned in an inescapable logic and the narrow	B
confines of a blink of talent	C3
