One-act play. The story involves Chet and Stu, two black-clad tramps waiting for Godot on a city street near a construction site. To pass the time, they play at being cowboys and Indians, watching for "prairie thunderstorms," and wallowing in make-believe mud. The fantasy of death from a Comanche arrow, apparently, is preferable to the reality of slow decay amid civilization, which Stu describes as "chicken coops with chicken-do hanging on the wire. The chickens walk through it and their feet rot. They start eating it and their livers rot and their feathers fall out. They lie there in a pool of shit and feathers and make this little cluck in the back of their throat." Gradually, though, the imaginary desert heat becomes lethal and the imaginary vultures begin to fly close, whereupon two suited and necktied gentlemen appear and primly recite the two lost cowboys' opening lines.
