More On Jean Cocteau.





the feet are addenant, twin blue manatea
swarm-furred in miniature pink dolphin
hybrid~ wearing addenant claipsed trigeminals,
of course, but in a way suggesting an alternate
fistulous paraform~

as in Jean Cocteau's Opium.

In the painting:

Jean Cocteau is conceived of
as a Doge of Venice, his long
white locks tucked up neatly
inside the addenant of his office,
his overlong fingernails inscribed
with magical formulae.

As per normal in the insidious city,
there are intrigues afoot, but the fact
that the entire world is now reduced
to a floating and rotten technological
cheese in the shape of a foot.

The Earth, all that is left, is a sort of
rotten blue foot, with Venice
as its capital. Also, Kentucky survived
somehow. It was in the aftermath of the
yellowstone megavolcano, that the Earth
came to become a smoldering blue foot.

I'm really too terribly sad about this
to keep writing. One good thing is,
the manatease survives, but it is in
fact now farmed extensively, and really,
a manatease steak isn't really all that
great, and the Jean Cocteau android Doge
clone thing was really cool at first, but
at some point, he found a picture of Dante'.

Now he thinks he is Dante'
because of his big crooked nose.

Something good that came out of that,
is that he had built an incredibly decadent
underworld he called hell, and basically its
like this totally awesome blackmarket area
where anything goes. They have these
bulldog midget people down there that carry you..

It's pretty cool.

  1. I'm afraid if I tie a manatease steak to my smoldering foot I could be creating a charbroiled dinner for this rampant stag-Doge-Sissydog...

    Lanny, you are developing a brilliant way with narrative... I was going to say My foot!

    I had a fistulous paraformer with my first seven-year-old train set, but it ran away with a coal tender.

    These are the most eloquent words I have read in many a year, I have wept and laughed over them, then wept and laughed again:

    "As per normal in the insidious city,
    there are intrigues afoot, but the fact
    that the entire world is now reduced
    to a floating and rotten technological
    cheese in the shape of a foot.

    "The Earth, all that is left, is a sort of

    came to become a smoldering blue foot."

    Thou art Genius, sir.
