Therefore, They Am

  1. In John Rossi’s The Adventures of Dead Dan: The Old Religion: Does Dan only pretend to eat and drink? Wouldn’t people notice?

  2. In Jennifer Walker’s Maude and Claire: What do you think of Maude and Claire? Would fifteen minutes spent in their company seem like the age of the universe?

  3. In Gary Inbinder’s They Are a Cat: Might the title also be “They Am a Cat”?

  4. In William Kitcher’s Interview Number 14:

    1. How would the simultaneous appearance in the sky of “millions” of spaceships affect the amount of sunlight reaching Earth? What might they do to the Earth’s gravitational field?
    2. Do all Earthlings have an equal interest in sexual activity? Do all have the same interest? Would the space aliens bother with humans who naturally preferred not to engage in procreation?

    3. What category do the space aliens seem to fit among those cited in Space Aliens as Metaphor?
    4. The subject of the interview has the same name as the author. Is the author interviewing himself figuratively in the present or literally in the future?
