Snooky's Old Irish Lie [WCB]

The second definition of polity
is polarity.

Verticity.

Polemology is the study of war.

In a green field a ruined wall rambles through a hedge
where two old gentlemen friends have carved out a pipe-smoking niche
including a stone slab table brought out by the plough, two stone chairs
that look altogether like something Magritte could've painted, and an
unlikely stone flower pot which might be an old iron kettle upon which
coral has grown in the ocean.

You can smell the ocean,
and pipe smoke.

Some younger men who live nearby have erected a thing like
a native american totem pole, but the heads look like grotesque
european carival heads and are animatronic and speak and spit
like fountains.

Some young women have made a curious woven burrow by weaving the living grass
in the land, and they crawl through like soldiers or worms, or like thoughts
inside a head.

There is an old head, the flesh still fresh on the skull. It lays beside
a sleeping bull, a bull which has been painted with a sign, a sign that reads

nemonoia altar what some of you hone.
nemonoia alter where some of you home.

the pipe to be cut like the head.
the hedge to be cut like the pipe.
the totem to spit like the lizard.
