Hi there!
B
Mrs Charity Mailer was a divorcée. Mrs Charity Mailer was
divorced from her husband of four years, Mr Guido P Mailer.
Mrs Charity Mailer had a brother, Pierce Himmler.
Pierce:
a flautist: a student: a Trekkie: mildly homo.
Mrs Charity Mailer had an uncle, Uncle Congressman Father
Finegan.
The Congressman Father: obese: currently visiting.
Mrs Charity Mailer had a best friend, Eugenia Gauloises.
Eugenia and Charity: buddy-wuddy: palsy-walsy.
Eugenia Gauloises and Mrs Charity Mailer conversed in Mrs
Charity Mailer's vehicle in a parking lot by the intersection
of Luna St and Puma St.
Eugenia Gauloises and Mrs Charity Mailer
did not know, were not aware, that as they conversed in Mrs
Charity Mailer's vehicle in a parking lot by the intersection
of Luna St and Puma St that The Fates had decreed that in twenty-one
hours and eleven point two minutes forward in linear Newtonian
space-time to come Mrs. Charity Mailer's brother Pierce Himmler
together with his homo pal Jean-Hercule and Pokey the Toyota
van would, twelve feet to the left, together encounter --
The Penultimate!
C
Eugenia Gauloises and Mrs Charity Mailer conversed in Mrs
Charity Mailer's vehicle in a parking lot near the intersection
of Luna St and Puma St.
Mrs Charity Mailer's vehicle was a
1984 Ford Pinto Station Wagon. Within its upholstered confines,
Eugenia Gauloises stroked the silky black Leggs pantyhose
upon her left thigh.
-- This frigging pantyhose has fathered an itching upon the
epidermis of my thigh, said Eugenia.
-- Perhaps you have but purchased the wrong size, Eugenia,
said Charity.
-- Ow, said Eugenia.
-- Let us get some Fast Food, Eugenia, for I am sort of hungry,
Eugenia, said Charity.
-- OK, said Eugenia.
Mrs Charity Mailer rose up from the 1984 Ford Pinto Station
Wagon and stood upon the paving.
Mrs Charity Mailer: twenty-eight
years of age: one hundred twenty-two pounds in weight: five
foot eight and three-quarters inches tall (five foot eleven
and one-half inches tall, in very tall and pointy heels): gray/blue
eyes: corn/blond hair: dyed silver/blond at the moment: no
visible deformities: of Western European descent: carrying
a white imitation leather purse: shod in white imitation leather
boots: the cuffs of her faded Calvin Klein pseudo-proletarian
blue jeans tucked into the white imitation leather boots: a
patch at the base of the right buttock of the jeans: it is
an ovoid patch: a patch with mauve letters sewn with mauve
thread onto a white oval background with an inverted horn shape
at its base: the whole in mimicry of speech balloons which
denote speech in comic strips comic magazines fotonovels popular
cartoons: No Way, José, it says: she wears a Wild West
shirt with long white sleeves also: two pockets upon them:
one placed upon each breast: each pocket buttoned with a silver
button that bears the image of infinitesimal bucking broncos:
a navy blue neckerchief too: a black cotton T-shirt beneath
the white Wild West shirt: the words ELVIS LIVES sewn onto
it with sequins: diamond sequins: they are very glossy: she
has perfect teeth. Hot stuff, Mrs Charity Mailer. Oh yeah.
Eugenia Gauloises rose up from the 1984 Ford Pinto Station
Wagon and stood upon the paving also.
Eugenia Gauloises: twenty-six
years of age: one hundred and one-half pounds: five foot six
and five-eighths inches tall (five foot nine inches in tall
and pointy heels): gray/green eyes: ink-black hair: shiny:
unstreaked with grey: very black: a smoker: ‘Now' menthol cigarettes:
of Eastern European descent: no hat: wearing a conservative
gray pinstripe skirt, a conservative gray pinstripe vest, a
conservative gray pinstripe suit jacket bearing a single white
silk handkerchief bearing a single black pseudofrench initial
(“E.”) in the conservative gray right breast pocket: over these
garments a London Fog raincoat, indeed a London Fog trenchcoat,
the arms hanging dangling swaying flapping from the pseudo-epaulette-bearing
shoulders: her tie is thin: her tie is black: her shirt is
white white white: her cufflinks of inauthentic gold bear inauthentic
royal insignia: the Lion, the Mace, Crossed Sabres, the Escutcheon:
her hair is very long: her chest is smooth and flat: her legs
are booted: her hands are gloved: her skin is white white white:
her pantyhose black black black: she tugs at the silky black
Leggs pantyhose about her thigh: men parked about in cars gaze
at this thigh.
-- Shitty shit shit, says Eugenia.
-- You ought to have not cast to one side your former stocking
and garters, Eugenia, for they gave you no complaint, Eugenia,
yes, they were neat-o, they were El Kinkyville, they were verily
as the eaglet that soareth up unto far high sunlit peaks. Do
you want Original or Spicy or Crispy, Eugenia? I will give
you a dollop of vodka when we get home, Eugenia.
-- I do not desire Original or Spicy or Crispy. I do not desire
a chicken of whatever sort. To the flesh of chickens I say:
no. But I shall have a Diet Pepsi-Cola, eh? A Diet Pepsi-Cola,
okey dokey?
-- Mais oui.
Mrs Charity Mailer and Eugenia Gauloises entered the Col Sanders
Southern Fried Chicken restaurant.
Mrs Charity Mailer and Eugenia
Gauloises ordered a Two-Piece Spicy with Mashed Potatoes
and a Diet Pepsi-Cola To Go and a Diet Pepsi To Go from smiling
negresses at the counter.
The smiling negresses gave them
that for which they asked and took their coin.
Mrs Charity Mailer drove Eugenia Gauloises to Mrs Charity
Mailer's $377,000 suburban home.
Mrs Charity Mailer sang:
Da da da da duh duh duh duh
Da da da da duh duh duh duh

Mrs Charity Mailer's uncle, Congressman Father Finegan, lay
upon the fashionable vibrating Danish gray/mauve upholstered
modern naugahyde recliner in Charity his niece's living room.
It vibrated.
He with it.
He gazed at the television screen
through his toes; looming toes; toes nude, unclipped,
silent; prehensile, wriggling toes.
Corky June Smoke, the sullen-buttocked daughter of Mrs Charity
Mailer's, ahem, business associates, the Smokes, sprawled upon
the bellybutton of her belly before the Congressman Father
before the Sears large-screen projection color TV.
Her sullen buttocks had seen but fourteen summers. Her sullen
buttocks were very white.
The Congressman Father's buttocks had beheld sixty-one summers.
His buttocks were gray and pitted.
The Sears large-screen projection color TV projected “Tarzan
Meets The Gorgo Men".
They observed it.
E
-- I shall munch these munchies you have got here, Charity,
yes, if I may, Charity.
-- Have some Dixie Belle Vodka too then, Eugenia.
-- Merci I shall.
-- Shall I microwave Orville Redenbacher's Vitamin Enriched
Low Sodium Sour Cream And Chives Popping Corn for you, eh?
Eh, Eugenia?
-- Yum.
-- I am happy to cook. It is no bother. I have got to cook
for the spawn of my ova Paolo and Thomasina as well, it is
that time of day.
Paolo and Thomasina were the spawn of the ova of Mrs Charity
Mailer.
Paolo was spawned by the conjunction of Mrs Charity
Mailer and Mr Guido P Mailer.
Thomasina was spawned by the
conjunction of Mrs Charity Mailer and Milo Kolko, a laughing
existential postman.
Mrs Charity Mailer did not inform
Mr Guido P Mailer of this spontaneous happenstance. No
sir. Uh-uh. Now Paolo was nine and Thomasina six and Paolo
was tan, Thomasina most blond.
-- Shall the Old Poop sup with us?, said Eugenia.
This in reference to the visiting Congressman Father.
Mrs Charity Mailer placed Orville Redenbacher's Vitamin Enriched
Low Sodium Sour Cream And Chives Popping Corn in her Hotpoint
Microwave. She closed the door of her Hotpoint Microwave. She
pressed not inappropriate buttons upon her Hotpoint Microwave.
-- For I would prefer to sup privately with you, Charity.
Privately, you understand me? You understand me, Charity?
-- Yes he shall join us.
Microwaves radically refornulated the complex molecular structure
of Orville Redenbacher's Vitamin Enriched Low Sodium Sour Cream
And Chives Popping Corn.
-- I bet that Pierce too shall come over and join us. He shall
mooch among us. Though he is the flesh of your flesh and the
bone of your bone he shall mooch among us, Charity, he takes
too great an advantage, he presses upon us, Charity, he presses.
-- Pop! went the Popping Corn.
-- Pop pop pop!
-- Pop!
-- Pop pop!
-- Poppop pop pop pop pop!

Paolo entered.
-- Hi Paolo.
-- Hi kid.
Paolo eyed them without expression.
It was 5 PM.

A fudge-hued negro walked before the $377,000 suburban home
of Mrs Charity Mailer. He held in his fudge-hued hand a large
rectangular chromium box the approximate size of a large dwarf's
coffin to his fudge-hued ear. Music of youthful mulattoes moaned
from the box. He said whoa, yao, gots to git it, uhh, nnghh,
yayuh, and wo.

The Smokes, Emile and Linda, were enjoying the wonders of
our nation's capitol.
They gazed at the Houses of Congress.
They gazed at the Capitol Building.
They gazed at the Lincoln Memorial.
They gazed at the Washington Monument.
Ooh.
Aah.
They did not take Corky June.
No no.
Corky June was being punished.
Fiat iustitia, pereat mundus, said Emile and Linda.
(‘Let justice be done, though the heavens fall' —— Ed.)
But Emile and Linda Smoke did not want Corky June to be left
alone.
No no, said Smoke pére to Smoke mére, and she
to he, no no. Corky June must not be left alone...
Let our ha ha business associate Mrs Charity Mailer house
Corky for the nonce!
This was done.
I
A Mastercard International commercial appeared onto the Sears
large-screen projection color TV.
‘So worldly!'
‘So welcome!'
The Congressman Father mused.
“Is it perhaps the case that” puff
“Paolo” puff
“seeks to” puff
“emulate the stance, persona, and demeanor of” puff
“Mr Spock, a fictional” puff
“being from a fictional” puff
“society which” puff
“discourages all expression of” puff
“emotion, preferring” puff
“to that the rigors of logical” puff
“methodology as” puff
“the preeminent model for” puff
‘‘societal role-interaction?'' mused the Congressman Father
as he sat in the living room, puffing and sucking absorbedly
upon his dank Dutch Masters cheroot.
“This coldness! This aloofness!” cried he.
-- This frigging pantyhose makes the epidermis upon my thigh
itch, muttered Corky June.
The Mastercard International commercial ended.
The Are You Hungry For Burger King Now? commercial began.
J
Paolo crossed the floor of the living room.
It was necessary to cross the floor of the living room.
Paolo wished to program his Apple computer.
Paolo's Apple computer lay silent and uncomprehending in his
room.
His room was on the other side of the living room.
Thus Paolo must needs cross the floor of the living room to
reach it.
Who says A must say B.
-- Paolo! Paolo old man! How's it going, Paolo? How, kid?
Eh? Eh, Paolo? How is it going, Paolo? Eh?, said the Congressman
Father to Paolo.
-- Classische ist das Gesunde, Romantisch das Kranke, sneered
Paolo, departing.
“Tarzan Meets The Gorgo Men” resumed.
K
Supper.
Mrs Charity Mailer compressed her palms. Her lips
parted. Her gaze turned skywards.
-- God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him. For our food.
-- What is the precise significance of this curious pre-scientific
ritual? inquired Paolo of his mama's heartfelt peroration to
the Most High.
-- Shut the fuck up, Paolo, she gaily replied.
Congressman Father Finegan heatedly explained to Paolo the
precise significance of the curious pre-scientific ritual.
Corky June Smoke snuck looks beneath the table at a Photoshop-modified
porno web download graphics of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
-- Amen.
L
They ate.
Pork.

The Approach of the Humid Cockroach of Night. (A metaphor.)

-- Good night Charity.
-- Good night Eugenia.
-- Din Din was ooh it was so terrif.
-- Pshaw.
The cab.
-- Beep beep.
Away, Eugenia Gauloises, away; away into the dark armpit of
the teeming urban megalopolis -- away! She sighed. Ennui profound
beaned her very frame alas with torpor and sapped her vim.
The woods decay, the woods decay and fall, she mused; he who
binds to himself a joy doth the winged life destroy, she conceded;
yet he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in Eternity's
sun-rise, she realized; though after many a summer dies the
swan, she presumed.
-- A deux!, cried Eugenia aloud.
-- Yeah, noted the cabbie.
-- To the Our Lady Of Perpetual Mercy Motel, fellow! Chop
chop, si'l vous plait!
O
The household slept.
But Congressman Father Finegan did not sleep.
Did Congressman Father Finegan think of Congress? He did not.
Did Congressman Father Finegan think of NASA? The Budget Deficit?
The Palestinian Question? The Papal Estates? Nope.
Congressman Father Finegan sat in a scarlet Asian smoking
jacket of floor-length length on the fashionable vibrating
Danish gray/mauve upholstered modern naugahyde recliner.
Hairy
palms, his own, rested upon the fullness of his underbelly.
He gazed at the preprogrammed programs playing upon the Sears
large-screen projection color TV preprogrammed by the glistening
Sony that glistened atop it.
A Beulah And The Bolsheviks rock video; a Huey And The Holocausts
rock video; a Proust And The Pedos rock video; an Annie And
The Angst rock video; a Biff And The Barf Bags rock video; an
Eight-Eyed Incest rock video; a Gang Of Crazed Flies rock video;
a Man You're So Hollow rock video; a Flesh For Lumumba rock
video; an Anguished Dickless Intellectuals rock video; a New
Aryan Order rock video; a Million Masturbating Mexicans rock
video; a Venusian Cha-Cha Apocalypse rock video; a Poisoned
Little Schoolgirls rock video; a Martian Sex Fiends rock video;
a Several Swelling Testicles rock video; a Subsonic Jüngen
rock video; a Dolls Eat Dolls Eat Dolls rock video; a Seven
Severed Foreskins rock video; a Sophisticated Polar Babies rock
video; a Kill Poor People Before They Replicate rock video;
an Quadriplegic Samoans rock video; an Even Deader Kennedys
rock video; a Nude Flowerpot Girls rock video; a Kiss Me Enola
Gay rock video; etc.
P
Thomasina snuck from her little bed. She looked upon the Congressman
Father looking upon the Kiss Me Enola Gay rock video. She tried
to touch her nose with her tongue. She returned to her little
bed.
Q
The humid tongue of Night.
The room of Corky June.
Corky June stood clad in naught but her brazen fuschia K-Mart
panties, like eleven Nazis dancing a fandango, and sucked smilingly
upon a grape flavor lollypop Kojak-like and pumped iron pump
pump pump as she stared, her nostrils in flared state, lima
beans of sweat a-drip upon the smoking plain of her snowflake
brow, as she stared and gazed, upon Nightline with Sam Donaldson
substituting for the vacationing Ted Koppel.
How shall America
deal with the threat of International Terrorism?, cried Sam
aloud.
-- Deutschland, Deutschland, Über Alles, sang Corky throatily.
Pump pump pump.
In the living room below her, sitting in a scarlet Asian smoking
jacket of floor-length length on the fashionable vibrating
Danish gray/mauve upholstered modern naugahyde recliner, Congressman
Father Finegan had drawn little faces on the sides of his fists
with a black Flair from Scrantoms.
Little eyes stared out
from the knuckle sides of the hands and the bobbing cheroot-stained
thumbs served as conversing lower lips. The hands performed “Doctor
Faustus”.
-- See, see, where Christ's blood streams in the firmament,
said Congressman Father Finegan' s right hand.
-- Bene dissere est finis logices, said Congressman Father
Finegan' s left hand.
What a crazy guy!
-- über alles in der Welt, crooned Corky June.
Far far away, far away indeed, very far away, in Rome, the
Eternal City, the City Of Lights, no wait that's Paris, in
Rome, the Eternal City, yeah, Anastasia-Genevieve Pitz, Pierce
Himmler's instructress-in-flute, labored maniacally into the
night upon her minimalist opera-yet-to-be, “Godzilla Conquers
The Universe,” yes,
they had laughed at her at Juilliard, the high and mighty professors
had all laughed, Pierce too had guffawed, Pierce too had chortled,
well she would show them ALL cackle cackle the FOOLS cackle.
Corky June: pump pump pump.
R
Pierce Himmler licked the stomach of Eugenia Gauloises in
Room 7 of the Our Lady Of Perpetual Mercy Motel.
-- O God God O God, she said.
He placed his nose in her bellybutton morosely.
-- You don't say it like you mean it, said Pierce.
-- Sure I mean it Pierce, said Eugenia.
He blinked. His lengthy lashes tickled Eugenia's belly.
-- You don't say it like you mean it. If you meant it you
wouldn't say it. You would moan it or whimper it smilingly.
-- I whimper it smilingly a lot Pierce.
-- Not like you mean it.
Orgasm Score Card: Pierce 2, Eugenia 0.

At that very moment in Vienna, Nick Poot, Mafia Assassin,
twirled and pulled two . 357 Smith & Wesson revolvers from
the shoulder holsters beneath his snazzy purple tux and jutted
the barrels at a Polaroid photo of Emile and Linda Smoke that
had been scotch-taped to his hotel boudoir mirror by persons
unknown.
DOOM DOOM, he said.
The steely eyes of Nick Poot, Mafia Assassin, stared into the
steely eyes of Nick Poot, Mafia Assassin, reflected in the mirror
above the photo of Emile and Linda Smoke.
He narrowed his eyes. He
flared his nostrils.
He was Nick. Nick Poot -- Mafia Assassin!
Ah! And was it no more than mere fortuitous happenstance that
at that very self-same moment, a package for Anastasia-Genevieve
Pitz had arrived under guard at Rome International Airport
containing fragments of antennae from a species of crustacean
unknown to Western Man?
And could it be by naught but the haphazard play of physical
contingency at the quantum level that in the cold Magnitogorsk
dawn in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Bogomir
Yebemvashbogovich, the Serbo-Croatian James Bond, slid his
curved golden dagger into the liver of Blind Boy Bellow, American
negro bodybuilder and imagist poet just as that very same American
negro bodybuilder and imagist poet murmured the last words
of his libretto to the minimalist opera-yet-to-be, “Godzilla
Conquers The Universe”,
namely: “Sex poets in the subliminal ampitheatre! The Soft
Crabs gesture! O intricate bureaucracies of photoelectric orgasm!
O Kung Fu Mama!”
And might it be pure random chance that
at that very aforesaid exact split-second in space-time Tatiana
Timofeyevna Ptitsova, the brightest prima of the celebrated
Bolshoi, whose glistering career was cruelly concluded by the
experimental Brazilian acid splashed across her body by the
love-maddened American dance critic Melville Cage, whose severed
hand was found (after his arrest and disappearance) in a jewel
box discarded beside the torpid Nairobi streets, and who (Tatiana
Timofeyevna, that is), now the black-velvet-masked Napoleon
of the Minsk-Leningrad-Uzbekistan cocaine underground, moved
her rook from King's Pawn Three to Queen's Pawn Four against
the Belgian Diplomat Caré, when she knew very well,
very very well
indeed, that the rook moves orthogonally and not diagonally ?
And (I dare say) is it even thinkable to further hypothesize
that it be in actuality no more than a tinkling twang of
the ball bearing of senseless synchronicity on the whirling
wheel of fluid Fortuna that Doctor Bobbi Jo Schumakker, the
world renowned blind Freudian scholar, had at precisely that
self-same nanomicrosecond gotten Pia, the autistic lesbian
daughter of Karl-Anton Shkokolbvzshki, the missing Czech theoretical
physicist, to whisper the fragment of an equation that, when
found by National Security Agency consultant Seamus Flaherty
to coincide exactly with the scrawled formula discovered concealed
within the Vatican codices by Sister Luke Of The Advent aka
Katya Sokolovskaya aka Donna Dierdre Epstein (CIA triple agent),
caused Flaherty' s immediate superior P. Schuyler Court to
blow away his gay brains in the men' s room at Bergdorf Goodman'
s in New York as Maoist cinematographer Auguste-Dominique Algol
looked coldly on through his lover's Foster Grants?
And how about Paolo? What was on that Apple computer anyway?
Huh?
Was all this simply coincidence?
Accident?
Chance?
Luck?
T
Yup.

Pierce and Eugenia lay naked as Toyotas across the motel bed.
Pierce shifted. He placed Eugenia's left big toe in his mouth
and began to hum The Battle Hymn Of The Republic. Eugenia groaned
with poorly simulated ecstasy, and thought of Mrs John F Kennedy's
black veil wafting in the November 1963 breeze as she (Mrs
John F Kennedy) observed the funeral cortege of President John
F Kennedy a-rollin' and a-moseyin' down Pennsylvania Avenue,
and Eugenia thought too of Yul Brynner's eyes in ‘The Magnificent
Seven”.
She desired a taco.
Pierce (for his part) dreamt of the cruel yet worldly gaze
of Corky June Smoke as she hefted iron pump pump pump. He mouthed
Eugenia's left big toe all the more passionately.
Yes! He desired Corky! -- But he feared her taut rebuff.
Melodious mulattoes cooed from a Sony in the night.
V
Corky June Smoke sat in the dark before the Sears large-screen
projection color TV. Congressman Father Finegan was gone. Congressman
Father Finegan was not there. Congressman Father Finegan was
palpably el splitsville. To where had the Congressman Father
abscounded? Beats me.
Corky June Smoke sat on the floor and observed a PBS documentary
on mating rituals of the Syrian ocelot. She inhaled Paraguayan
hashish and laughed throatily. She supported the Paraguayan
hashish in a corncob pipe in hand A, whilst in hand B she supported
an extremely red apple. From the extremely red apple she had
already bitten bites.
Her line of vision was transected by the approaching Paolo.
Paolo too sat before the set also. He attached wires from his
Apple computer to the set and rippled the keys of the Apple
in subtle pianissimos.
The PBS documentary departed. An abstraction
replaced it, yes, a tiny white square in a green green maze.
Black dots leapt and bounded along the corners, corridors,
entrances, exits, of the green green maze.
-- Two player?, inquired Paolo.
-- Yeah, said Corky.
-- So let it be written, acknowledged Paolo. So let it be
done.
A second white square appeared in the green green maze.
-- New Game? said Corky.
-- “Gaza Bloodbath 3: The Adventure Continues”.
Corky nodded. Corky flexed. Corky took a joystick. She bit
for a last time the extremely red apple. Sixth and seventh
white slices slid down her muscular throat. She tossed the
core on the lemon shag carpeting.
It began.
-- KaPow! KaPow!, said Corky June. Corky June rammed her thumb
onto and off her Fire Button.
-- Yee-haa, she cackled.
-- Zap, noted Paolo, Zap. Zap. Zap.
-- KaPow! KaPOW! KA-POWWW! kraaAAANM! SSPPLLAAAATT! AAAaaaAAArrrRRRGGGI-IHHHHH!
UUNNHHGGH!
-- Zap. Zap... ZAP.
Yes, yes! Paolo began to emote!
-- Die, cringing non-Aryan mutoids, DIE!, shrieked Paolo.
W
Pierce went to pick up Jean-Hercule, his homo pal, in Pokey
the Toyota Van.
-- Hi Jean-Hercule.
-- Hi Pierce. Hi Pokey.
Jean-Hercule and Pierce stopped Pokey the Toyota Van at a
red light at the corner of Luna St and Puma St near the Col
Sanders Southern Fried Chicken parking lot to which I alluded
earlier.
-- Hey you want some Original or Spicy or Crispy, Jean-Hercule?,
said Pierce.
A gray 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 went through the red light
at the corner of Dana St and Puma St at ninety-four miles per
hour straight into Pokey the Toyota Van. Pokey went boom.
Bye Jean-Hercule.
Bye Pierce.
Bye Pokey.

Ars longa vita brevis.

Morning.
Mrs Charity Mailer and Eugenia Gauloises drove to their aerobics
class at the Tristan Tzara Memorial Library in Mrs Charity
Mailer's 1984 Ford Pinto Station Wagon.
They entered.
They disrobed.
They robed.
They approached the aerobics room.
They walked in unison.
Eugenia Gauloises wore an immaculate zebra Danskin and electric
pink mid-thigh knit-wool legwarmers and a matching zebra headband
with a Pokemon button pinned securely to it.
Mrs Charity Mailer wore floppy snow-like socks, a Bulova,
one earring, polka dot Reeboks, and a cherry red Danskin vertically
bisected by three white stripes.
Mrs Charity Mailer and Eugenia Gauloises and eleven other
matrons bent like Argentinian jackknives, leapt like pricked
gazelles, swivelled like Dostoyevskian epileptics, tripped
like the light fantastic, curled like the toe of traditional
Slavic slippers, jogged like aged memories, goosestepped like
Commie ghosts before Lenin's Mausoleum, twisted like strands
of DNA, and scissored like robotic Babylonian umbrellas weeping
for their youth.
Suddenly the Magnificent Seven, featuring Yul Brynner but
also including Charles Bronson Robert Vaughn and James Coburn,
entered with flaming Uzis and laughing splattered them all
into total scarlet nullity.
Z
No they didn't.
I lied.
Ha ha ha.
The end.
