OANNES' EYE, THE FIRST CONSCIOUSNESS OF CHAOS

Upon the willing of May, he dashed off a Shedu
and was onto the Market, willing this he may,
a May of willing Shedus, two by two the Shedus
came, two-headed Shedus standing erect, and
he onto the Market, onto the marquetry, where
there in fabulous cherrywood the Shedu lay bleeding,
wooden nickles pouring from its visiboon, the artifice
of aculeated measures dandelion'd to the monopole,
tethered to the walls, the chora where once swans dived
in gelastic equimortis.


THE CHIMERA REGARDED ALL THINGS WITH TERROR

Templars on trial, trial and error, terror, horror, and fuhror,
These were the Shedus which upon which he went to Market.
First to Death Wish Avenue, Then left on Royal 13 Road,
a crooked and doglegged lane which passed the Rotary Club
whose facade was pale as celadon, an Albemuth furred in crystal
antennae, a Frankenmuth scarletted blue in yeti nails. Tipping his
hat to the casual and rustic fetishes of the Bus-stop, he continued
on, spurring his bearded Volks-fl-agon whose eyes like old
King Coals burned hotter than a pungent recollection, more
black than any ivory's ragged socket.

Time’s Visible Surface mocked him. All the things of the Market
came caustic in his story of the stone. The Market was dull, a dried
sap of iguanas cast in bales on plain litters, nothing but assurances
in its beak. The Shedus balked at the reins, the long devoid of his
countenance scrivened towards the implanting, the silent flower
of Vienna upon the graying abstersiveness now beckoning from
the mulch: "Vegetius' Distemper as a sustained examination
of the categories of temporality and history in artare an anaplerotic
substance whose dreaming polyps wade in deepest Sheduland,
whose Persia is the Zarathustrian Wolfsbane, whose Stilfragen,
Spätromische, and Kunstindustrie are portraits of Dutch maidens,
whose milky phrases water the Gesamtkunstwerk of this absolute
and unending nativity of swinging Pulcinella, whose faithful demiurge,
Tiepolo, would walk on wooden ladders o'er the snow, a regal
Aloe, a balm of isness upon the saltarelloi 
upon
sordid rungs."
 
 
COMOLLI or EVIL FLOWER?
 
Baudelaire ahymn'd and ahawed, then suddenly, with a
flaesh of his retinal cursor posted, as if thinking to hisself,
"Is it not an IN-credible form of the monstrous that we

credible?" ~`][`[`[]`[]`[`]`[`][`/`/`]`.]`.].`]``]][``][`[]`[\/\/\~~
 
The Shedu squared their beards in the rising plumage of the steamtrees,
 
and Odilon, who had finally arrived
at the public airstrip simply winked
from the cockpit of his spherical
hoverkraft, the SS VISION...
