Not Be Essence That Cannot Be



             Wild-Man & The Contemplation Of Lunar Incest


                              there's almost NO LIMIT
        to thinking in terms of miscellaneous Blood Groupings

                             WILD-MAN!
                             WYLD-MAYN!
                             WILDE-MAHN!
                             WHILD-MANE!

                                            & so to radio-iodide
        multi-movements & shortness
                                   clear causes/ culture in 
                           artificial energy fueling,   excess 
                  of grueling unknown streaming blood conditions

                        V I V A   W I L D - M A N !

               do the eyes look strange to you? then check

                      the mother
                      is she Sicilian?
                      Felonious intercourse/ sure quick vomit fast!

         in case of rape
         in case of incest
         in case of
                          black & blue veins
                      do you smell
                  strange aromas?        Lunar highlands
                                         O neutral metals

                           the planets are large & the surfaces
                 furious      the forces of the thick atmosphere

                                spring bigly    & cause minor
                  night sweating     of animals & friendly
             injuns             Animal Bites!

                                               romance of the rose 
                              the christian mystics the hydraulic 
                        press & reverence & gas engines & iron
                 lungen             burning your Bunsen!
                                  fract/uring your calculating 
                                machine!
                                         So sweet.
