Tristan Tzara lonely? Dada an-
archist, Résistance hero during the War,
can he have doubt? Abused by clique and clan
and foe? Is Peking Man about to soar
from his cave and attack the monocled,
gentle, three-piece bourgeois suit I walk
the streets of Paris with? I am cram filled |

Mine eyes have seen the glory of THE BATH ARTIST My husband is a philistine. When I woke him at 5:45 this morning to offer a private viewing of my greatest creation to date, he rolled away, stuck his head under a pillow and growled. He therefore missed (1) the unveiling of my new triple-bubble technique for the highest quality bubbles; (2) my newly executed theory of twin catalysts (two colors of 99c-store shampoos); and (3) a veritable Restoration Comedy of light and light-yet-solid, industrial-strength foam. Truly a bath for the ages. Technical addendum, 2:15 p.m.: The indestructibility of the bubbles proves detrimental to completion of bath.
the coming of THE WASHING-UP ARTIST
He is trampling out THE CLEAN HOUSE ARTIST
where the grapes of wrath are THE BATH ARTIST (II) The truth is, I accidentally let out the water, though not the bubbles, from the tub. Refilling, with more soap, is what yielded that superior foam. Art is the genius of utilizing accident. |

I surely succeeded, some life in New Orleans, August heat, dancing on a bar, men fucking on the pool table, balls on balls in every corner. With Oh yea, daddy, harder daddy, harder, fuck my hole, pop my brown cherry, it’s hard to determine who wants a tea bagging, who wants to dry hump me, smell my ass, my boots to the brim with cash, beer bottles, all across a sweaty, stinking bar, my dick flapping from Viagra and stay-hard cream. Near fainting, I was saved by an old man |

Each audience member eyelid drinks a cup full of rain till blue tinged bulge—page blur. That is where there is only appetite. Gesturing toward a separate way, enter a funny little man at the cornea point yet to be introduced, of course, buried in a blood tweed suit, we call him as named before, the final sayer. He raises his right hand high above his head as if holding an object rare and majestic, perhaps to yank at an eyelash. With eyes wide open (as yours) he breaks out into shrill song. The Final Sayer
In this fork is an embedded list of names. The path so to speak from which the paw broke away from itself and became this disconnected claw.
A Fork
The labile fugitive claw
its levity atony
of keratins pincers in disquiet
incised on the body
he lifts
black jacket tiny
flitting black eyes
pesky gaunt
Pierrot of stark cutlery vintage tarsus
desacralized girt
by thick cords
I am ingest demurred refused
to eat tubercle bacilli
mephitic place
slated shy of scope. |
