[THE STRATEGY OF PARADISE IN PURSUIT:] February 14, 2004, 23:59 {dawn} Washington crossing the Delaware, clothed in the coy snakeskin I’ve invented. [TECHNIQUE:] With this coffee stained husk he can dig through the ice like an invertebrate; also, contract the execution of Lincoln’s fading cactuses. But Betsy Ross was wailing: “Abrade the lying lights of bare back bark, Call the Cast and cut off decorticate, excoriate, exuviate making noise rinsing the chandelier flay, my known nine; gall at the dinnerparties thrown in graze, hull, husk, pare, peel, pull off a scheme within plastic bag bonnets, rind the ocean tides, scale the walls and scalp the days, scraping shaving, sheding, shucking slough was a strip, but a trim made him thin.” {midday} recent photographs have decreed: gelatin in prime time; pheramone arrives at The Guiltmore. I am summoned for a hairless rendezvous at the supernova lounge. (But first, a few details are necessary): Mousier Urchin and myself hit the campaign trail again; after last seasons upset, it was time for a real curtain call. The Hi-Fi (conniving) Internationale Rides Again! To obtain the voters attention and to coax the public within our favor, we decided we’d better pick up some shiny diamonds and red meat at the tapeworm farm. Once at the farm we were allowed entrance; dressing as Jesuit priests on stilts has it’s ups and downs. The tape worm factory sass-mouth was off the Richter; but if she was nurse then where was doctor? busy spending his saliva in jail, working like slaves under horseshoe shells, match maker; watch, maker: Burning libraries but no one’s crying. Donna dear’s tears repelled the vultures back to their hot milk baths. (meanwhile back in the states) There wasn’t any central parking, no grass or benches to sit on, just driving driving breathing in the hot exhaust from automobiles. The cave was about to collapse when I decided this was not to be our tomb (2M). I propelled our cylindrical mirrors (reflecting a french kiss) and sparked out into the salvation city traffic, whirling and buzzing like a pace maker in love. {sundown} As it was “deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness” Day, I took the illustrious archetype, Margaret Pheramone to the Horror Vaccui. Before dining, we traded our skins to each other. This was not all bell Holly’s and belt buckles as I had made it to be; it was merely a diversion to present pheramone with gifts from my very own veins. [Exhibit A:] White Wine Tulips [PROCESS:] “When fermentation has run its course, the vintner will stop the process and filter the wine to remove solids and yeast remnants. The tulip sap is then aged for a period of one week to a year in stainless steel, oak, or redwood bathtubs, or it can be aged in the bottle. After aging, the wine may be blended with other wines with different characteristics to create the desired style. The next step is "finishing," a process by which the wine is stabilized and filtered before bottling. Substances such as egg whites or gelatin are added to remove astringent substances or proteins, which can cloud the wine and give off flavors. Sulfites may also be added to prevent oxidation and bacterial spoilage.” [Exhibit B:] a new copy of the old ‘Lie [Exhibit C:] Christmas with Coppola I later confessed my love to Margaret Pheramone, by arranging her blood mother and severed sister to perform a signing telegram I had written: “I want to stand next to you forever, feel the flush of your cheeks with my lips, make your pain lessen as we gaze into our fragment eyes. I’ll be your conjoined Siamese twin so we can never be apart, because we already share one heart. From this skin, I can only see my lust and devotion grow.” PHERAMONE: “I love you too, guerilla combat” The Horror Vaccui was moving on amphetamine as we listened to the Juxtaposition Cabaret do their rendition of the classic “Manet moves Gangrene”. Pheramone ate like a trapese artist in isolation where as I was simply content sipping on boudoirs and observing the digestion of the disjointed picnic The Juxtaposition Cabaret’s lyrics are so brilliant I must add them in: “Sincere as gladiolas when the seasons were cold the genes of donna dear shaved off Monday morning and clinked and shrieked like rattle snake callers.” I paid the Czech, with the paint from my pig intestines (thanks to the Brown Ballot). {dusk} The virgin astronomer was casually sleeping with his eyes open when a pack of cigarettes made mosquitoes bet on the 7th inning. It was 7:30 when he turned to salt and the tables formed beds used for dog lapping astronomer sweat. Amidst the attributes of the blast, the censure of salvation city charged into the chide to condemn, criticize, denounce, denunciate, disapprove, finger, frame the demo-centipedes for all the blood they had wasted. But I hadn’t thought of that; too busy kicking off my shoes and doing the deca-dance. Oedipus was slowing up. Paris was loving Paris. Parus was loving Parus. Lulling vocal chords like basket cobras on William Tell’s blind date. Slashing through obscurity, smacking all the Dutch wives and amateurs. I’ve heard about what’s left of Van Gogh when the symbolists and rationalists were wrestling with the angels. {twilight} The octobex and octovus were busy selling all of us To settle their old debts between the Eskimos and pence The serpent belt was sneering and the diamonds kept on ringing I said someone “pick them up” but they had all gone out to lunch Break beltzer, blare the trumpets Branded czech with radio static Bring the dust back to the attic Sacred hearts for sacred wars. Yellow pills that light the plane Tentacles call us by name Digging us like rodedendrums Sacred toungues are sacred forked Meanwhile, in the jet stream We were camped out in the clapping Widowmaker wore our mothers skins The sun had sold us out again The endless chant of industry had us bent on both our kness We soaked our iron toungues in wishes as we swallowed our old fears The level cracked as we were being tracked by a pack of bounty hunters Alamony siloutettes sawed off reflections in the glass The sands are royal, gases mustard, made our skins bubble forth silk Cloth birthmark stark and connected start to draw a map of where we were once Trip/ Across/ The iceicles/ With two eyes Like meditation Spot those cats in kaledescope traps; slave ships, safety nets bow down before the czech.

Too much smoke I mean red your body language like Japanese fire engine You say we’re moving too fast, to that scorpion bubble bath I mean I’m English, but I happen to like math Patricia put your trust in my arms tonight I we me mean doing the deca-dance The OctO Bex and octOVus Were busy Lounging Under all of us ring ring twas the mayor and baseball players cream rinse, since the birth of birth submarine panic from sourdough mother up in and out the twin engines 3 dollars wore the pathological liars like fine furs.
