supersocket (cush)^
e ma tremaire and
makes the air tremble
with light
ema tremblair
its disco geometry
light speakers
and linda blair
some say
we shouldn't have
her there
in her demonic form
she's a jack in the box
beside the door
wouldn't that be
incredibly creepy
and funny
at the same time
the stealing of the tremare
last night not casus bellorum
but roaming the halls
of the palace of Caserta
the "bella casa"
in our fine knight's sleeping armor
made of viscoelastic memory foam
we can sleep anywhere
we can hang our bodies
like grubs
over the shoulders
of Actaeon
and the entire cascade
is filled with jellybeans
and a thousand stags
wearing special tether harnesses
pull an immense round inflatable balcony disk
and fountain
where a costumed ball is going on
to commemorate the opening of Ferdinandopoli
and its satellite version of the
Orto botanico di Padova and the continued
veneration of the semplici
guests dressed as living versions
of Arcimboldo's Vertumnus and Flora
mingle to the odd sounds
of Abyssinian harp and row upon row
of miniature porcelain harpsichords
played by an ingenious hydraulic circuit
begun by the smashing of a frozen rose
on a single near invisible string.
The string is for none other than
Gaetano Filangieri's
finger.
