Beginners like myselfwere tortured, chiefly by means of sensual deprivation,given nothing of the body but the esoteric growth of hairsouth of a woman's knuckle. One week with the Skelquetons encompassed years of adolescent anguish. Nothing I didpleased them; they were intemperate judges, brutal horsesof instruction, all my rebellions of thought were crushedand letters of reprimand mailed home to my widowed mother. It was humiliating and senseless, much like the year 1970itself, with its crew-cut Wagnerians in the White Housescrimmaging for power with a German Jew: year of the deadand paralyzed students, the fog of repellent and war.

From hedging pyrite futures to reading manifestosdull enough to induce Bell's palsy in the unvaccinated,life's a fool's errand, a sequence of erotic pirouettesending in abstinence and frenzies of papal hand-kissing.Tolstoy to Chekhov: I was an indefatigable fornicator.The river mouth is stuffed with foot x-rays.

As the house skeleton dimmed the lights,I dreamt of a sequel based on The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast,a page-turner from the 1590s by Giordano Bruno.It was my way of honoring Peter Graves,a Nordic hero set loose in an underworld of bug-eyed primates.It was my way of avoiding the skeleton and his tongue,the rabid dogmatist and his..." @default.
