Exergue XXXII
Gregor’s
letzeburgesch is
late-Victorian, Edwardian flab
in whiteface, predatory, say
melehē tou thanatou.
ZERO
(replaced by 0: L
←
0), SUCCESSOR (L
←
L+1)
and DECREMENT (L
←
L – 1.) He grips St. Andrew’s
Cross,
the
crux decussata
as
vernis de protection. His
Imps
are in fine, cyborganic
spoudè, uxoricidic,
sowing cross-border
paranoia and pyroclastic fic. Khôra shames: oxy-snorting
half-wits. In her
mikvah, the heretic’s
fork is engraved
with
abiuro. Piety tongues its
gubernatory tirade as
heterity
lips its po-mo troika.
Hijinks with sigils break
up bacterial
biofilms on teeth just when
lemmata are demodex.
No apocrine sweat glands are broken down
for ectoparasites.
It’s an easy equipoise. Grisly
flakka and judas cradles
printed
in the
Bibliothèque de la Pléiade,
decorpse the Starnbergersee.
Stroke recombinants or the
drowned Phoenician Sailor
afflicted by the plumber’s butt, and
alterity imputes carbs.
You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère! Line 610:
printf(“[scanner]
FD%d Found verified working
telnet\n”,
conn->fd).
When the syzygia swerves, duck. It takes 1d6 extra
months at 8,000 Lv per month. Tug
alethiea
with a procédé.
Select an object with no
predecessors. Amphetamine
producing E coli warrants a nob, not Rugen in the Baltic.
Supra subverts
hohlweltlehre for Gregor.
He injects his neck
with
cyclopentaneperhydrophenanthrene.
Diode logic gates
collapse. Lace up his pentapod
spine for a new
memoryism and find the monogram. Price: Lv450/Filter
Colony. It’s sunny on Gamma Serpenti.
Stats
wienie?
Exergue
XXXIII
Negative press,
covfefe, from the
nacelle, all moyenâgeux
are roasted quails flambéed
with cognac.
Curlicues
in Ashoka’s Hell convert
Taelons. Volonté
never pends.
From his leaps and caracoles, Salvador Dracu rehearses
ponzi schemes, slipshod and hoot
as strappado, gaydar
gone berserk with iron chilopsis.
Is that a liquefied cufflink,
Darth Maul? Ampersands cum on
Bulfinch’s Mythology. Sal
wipes up the trireme. Enuf, let’s
traffic in sententiae,
pale,
skittish and tattooed with
cryptic logos in razor
inked left jaws chawing on the
Apophthegmata Patrum.
What’s mistranslated is debyut,
not unhatched breasts.
Precede singling out.
Isenacum en musica, hear
us
dig and sell custom wardrobe tidying systems. In gouts,
sapiosexuals rewire the
Kohelet for blood and
silicon.
Goose up, contrarians, with the
boot as a reticule
for
Mother Shipton’s Prophecy
and colophons for virologists.
Sal’s
cause célèbre:
drift-netting stray divagations.
Line 632:
memmove(conn->rdbuf, conn->rdbuf
+ consumed, conn
->rdbuf_pos).
Chemsex and death in
hyperlinks for his fangirl,
Orb Oran. This vivid failed bruise is a
dirigible pored
over
by specialists.
The
holy hunchback’s
Esh Kodesh verifies
a checkout
lag at the
till, Sal’s lucky aleph-null (ℵ0).
The Imps revert to their Cycladic phase
without venting
plastic wrap. It’s a cockfostered
victory for the Tatars,
our
hapax legomenons in their
staches. Charred bodies
resemble
semiosis,
un peu obscur, draft
sabotage.
A black, E white, I red, O blue, U
green, hclient/cutthroat.
Exergue
XXXIV
Despite a hermeneutic pedigree, Gregor
bypasses la putain
with a
pnigos and
brags about squats. Milk emojis recast
our
parabasis as pasty bros.
Call this disarticulation,
aphesis
and sidestep smirks with an
epirrhema. Tech
triumphalism
wears a death’s-head hawkmoth, bequeaths embassies
in 140 character vitriol.
Cumplodes break its dais
as the
Helikopter-Streichquartett
plays its rotors. Gregor
stays rouged, lipsticked,
his skin marble, doxa and
crura
frieze. His body’s
excreta, red flecked with
otium
and small ceramokevlar scales just beneath his reptilian
skin.
Hebephrenic patients are
branded as rubes and take
their fealty oath. Nothing like
that taste for huffing
scotchgard fabric spray. Which
cri de coeur, qua fringe,
is this
Monogramma Christi?
Tertiary symbolists feign rivalry
or fissile drag under gang profile with
presbyopic squint.
The gravamen be imputed if
machination strum lax.
Clown Donatello?
Exempla preachers are the
real hentai
clad in
jüdisch gekleidet. Limbo
a crick out and hive off.
Line 643:
kill(scanner_pid, 9). Our
semina is
impossibru.
The jingo has an alibi—panglossian gamine. Her screed
againt haplotypes at the
Hôtel Particulier was
pure medieval
weltanschauung.
VPN, yo, Sextus Propertius, our
heterology
is fixed with chlorophyll and the
Synoptic Gospels.
Prostrate yourselves in Gregor’s
Necromanteion
and
perform
a nekuia
for his fanciers, access denied. Pataquerical? Pidgen,
or pun pitches, the
aqua vitae is doused with
a
synthetic
a priori,
like maggots by generatio
aequivoca, Thetica syphons. “Exergues XXXII, XXXIII & XXXIV” are from the manuscript, The Tryst of Thetica Zorg
