A Curious quotient

Tasty legs and dark hope

Is it wrong to take it?

Experimental evil is too confusing

Fuck. Him.

Does he have a vision?

Of course he has a vision!

Everything is a vision.

His eyes are clouds

His lips are cameras

His throat is tempting

That jugular makes me angry

What a vision that would make!

To see it ripped apart,

To see it flaccid and empty!

To see a pool of his longing

He wouldn’t dismiss me again.

Ever

lost in the box of my bottle

i feel safe.

un tired

i love you, your pace is
right

you ate the ghetto goulash

i ate your joy.

sucked my heart, kicked my ass

came like a cow, smoked the pack.

寮國行腳 5/24 ～ 5/30

福至心靈地想去寮國（Lao）遛遛。順利搭上24號「寮國航空」（Lao Airlines）一早從曼谷啟程的螺蜁漿班機，費時一小時又25分，抵達首都永珍市。住進的旅館Parasol Blanc 和網路上的照片有出入，稍嫌簡陋，而且雨季泳池暫停使用，還好旅館綠化的很徹底，放眼望去到處綠油油一片，覺得蠻舒服，location不差，而且我也只訂兩晚，也就不計較那麼多了。

位於「Patuxay 公園」內的紀念塔就在旅館旁邊，是永珍市最著名的地標，走過去散散心。這座古樸的建築造型優美、雕工很細，可以爬上頂端，各樓層都有紀念商品販賣。

這兒的人做生意絲毫不積極，你可以靜靜地瀏覽商品，商家既不吆喝、也不慫恿；其他許多落後國家，一到了觀光客聚集的地方，小販立刻蜂擁而上，最惱人的是像蒼蠅一般黏著要錢的小孩子；這種情況在寮國幾乎見不到，更多小販只靜靜地待在一角，願者上鉤，不時興瞎嚷嚷這一套；給人感覺很自在，我最怕買東西有店員在一旁喋喋不休，在永珍還真沒有這個困擾。不知道是民族性使然或和寮國是共產國家有關？箇中原因我不清楚。

寮國人相當友善、害羞，不太多話，像貓咪。泰語也說的通，電視播放的也多是泰語節目，和一個南非人聊起這個情形，他說這叫「污染」，這詞兒未免用的太重了，白種人是這樣的，大驚小怪！反正我這口破泰語正好派得上用場，和一個雙條車（Tuk Tuk）駕駛議價，請他帶我去遊市區。

永珍市容很乾淨清爽，人們遵守交通規則，鮮少見駕駛開快車或亂按喇叭，等紅燈時更不見有任何車輛超過警戒線，機車店外的機車、一輛輛排的整整齊齊像閱兵似的。

這駕駛非常盡本分地載我四處溜達。中午剛下過一陣雨，下午天氣涼爽，就邀他在河邊餐廳喝起冰鎮的啤酒、享受河風吹拂，去作了節寮式足部按摩，力道比泰式足，駕駛就坐在一旁靜靜等著，問他要不要也來上一節？他只搖頭、淡淡婉拒，也不和按摩妹扯東道西，換成泰國人早認鄉親地聊成一片了。街道乾淨整齊，人們友善、守本分，這是我對永珍市的第一印象。

傍晚，帶駕駛回飯店，雖說他長得實在不怎麼樣，但好歹是個純陽之物，被他入了一頓、還是相當受用的。好的開始是成功的一半，希望未來一週的寮國假期能盡興。

週末夜，自然得出去闖闖。攔了Tuk Tuk、告訴駕駛我想去disco，他竟載我到一個類似夜總會的地方，外貌看來倒像是談生意的聲色場所，當然不是我要去的地方；後來，又到了一處杵在街道窩窩角看來像娼寮的地方，一堆酒鬼和穿著單薄的妓女在店前晃蕩！最後終於溝通清楚，來到這家名為「Soradith」的夜店，地方還挺寬敞，來客多是頭臉乾淨的年輕人，音樂放的也不錯，有三、四個安全人員各據一角，謹防舞客滋事；我這懸的半天高的心才輕輕放下。一個臉像裹了層麵粉的華、寮混血姐妹過來敬酒，並介紹我認識他一票男男女女、老老少少的朋友，有幾個長得還不錯；幾杯啤酒下肚，很快同他們打成一片，玩得很開心。這兒的夜店都很早打烊，即使是週末夜，寮國的首善之都仍顯得冷清。回下榻休息也才不過兩點左右。

隔天一早，包車到達目的地「旺陽」（Vang Vieng），車程約三個多小時，路況不錯。

旺陽，一個石灰岩地形、風景秀麗，因歐洲來的觀光客聚集而成的小鎮。先到一處公園，拾石階而上，進入一個石灰岩洞，享受天然冷氣；記憶中我去過墾丁、馬來西亞怡保和黃石公園的石灰岩洞，長得都一個模樣，差別僅在規模大小。

比較值得一提的是，這兒流行一種非常特別的水上活動：「泛輪胎」（Tubing），想出這點子的生意人還真有創意！就一夥人癱坐在輪胎上、順溪流而下，一路欣賞河兩旁秀麗景致，沿河每隔一段距離就有用竹木簡單搭蓋的店舖供「輪胎客」上岸休息、飲酒作樂，甚或攀上高台上拉著扶手狠狠地盪下來、再重重地掉在溪流中。參加這活動的多是些酷愛戶外活動、人來瘋的老外，我是其中極少數的東方面孔，有道是「輸人不輸陣」，我這不怕死、愛秀的賤性又犯了，高空彈跳都跳過了，這小陣仗哪難得了我？人都來了，要盪就盪唄，徹徹底底地作個令人刮目相看的蕩婦！特別的經驗！

回到永珍市都晚上九點多了，稍事梳洗，去當地的酒吧小酌一番。風吹來，竟有點兒涼意了。早、晚溫差大。

衝著「去了寮國，若沒去龍波邦（Lung-Pra-Bang）等於沒去」這個論調，第三天就搭了傍晚的慢速飛機抵達Lung-Pra-Bang，耗時45分鐘，住進市區的旅店Choumkhong Guset House。房間寬敞、地點方便、要價合理，去附近夜市逛逛；這夜市專賣布匹、絲綢和手工藝品，整整齊齊鋪在桌上和地上、供人瀏覽採買，店家統一點著昏黃的燈泡，靜靜席坐著、也不吆喝叫賣，一路行來、覺得還蠻詩情畫意的。一個好有氣質的夜市！

問了旅店老闆娘這兒年輕人晚上的去處，便叫了Tuk Tuk 去了一家舞廳，可能非週末假日，沒甚麼客人，稍事停留、就回旅店附近的酒吧點了杯Gin Tonic，看看來往行人，多是些老外；這些個老外還真懂得享受，哪兒好玩就有他們的蹤影。和兩個工讀的服務生調笑一番，早早回去休息囉。

龍波邦是座群山環抱的小城，有溪流經過，因此湖光與山色兼具，由於地處群山中，氣候相當涼爽宜人。感覺上這兒的人比起永珍人又多了份質樸，和人相處沒甚麼壓力，個個做事不疾不徐、慢吞吞地，一副天塌下來自然有別人扛著的模樣。

翌日中午，包了泊船去遊河，沿途風景秀麗、美不勝收，兩岸多的是捕魚人家和在河中沐浴玩耍的男女老少。途中冷不防下起大雨，雨停、河風襲來有點兒涼意，太陽公公也躲起來了，真是天公作美。

船行約一個半小時，來到一處典型的寮國村落，登高有一座尖塔式廟宇，稱得上雕樑畫棟，是該村落居民的信仰中心，禮佛民眾絡繹不絕。這殷實的船伕找了個同夥、開休旅車載我們去今天的重頭戲瀑布，有三、四層，我攀到第二層就沒勁再往上了；這瀑布稱不上壯觀，但姿態優美，水是湛藍色的，山風和瀑布濺起的氤氳水氣、把人的心都涼開了，忍不住下水游泳，徹徹底底被大自然擁抱。

船伕盡責地用向機捕捉我美麗的倩影，覺得自己真是美的固若金湯。呵呵。玩了一整天，回到旅店都傍晚了。累，但值得！

Empanada Del Amore

When he awoke, which he did grudgingly, he bit down hard on a rasher of clothe knotted into a gag to stay the niggardly pain that he awoke to each and every morning like a scalding. He positioned his handcart to affect a bulwark between him and the outside world and mused on the day ahead. ‘Cupper’s are rot’ he mumbled, ‘rot and feces’. He saw the shamble leg man gambling and shimmying across the sideways his arms flailing like sailcloth. Empanada Del Amore strode defiantly across the sideways hissing and horning and making a general spectacle of herself. She tossed a bloodied butcher’s apron into the nearest dustbin and hurried up the downwash the harridan gibbering after her ‘sluttish slut, whore’s belly afterbirth!’ The legless man bellied from atop his handcart, ‘cock’s wattle and Gibb’s hard mustard, so much blather and nonsense, off with her head, sluttish whore!’ A coxswains’ shuttle whirled past his head, just missing his ear and the knob of his chin, and caromed into the Seder’s storefront window. ‘Cupper’s rot and feces; a tin of putrid sardines’ he hollered at the top of his lungs. Empanada Del Amore tippled sideways up the sideways, her feet marking the pavement like struck matches. ‘Never a moments rest for beery and incontinent: such rot and feces’. The lamplighter lit the street lamps with a kerosene wick held aloft over his left shoulder, his right holding forth and tight with the pavement below. As he was a wobbly old fool the lamplighter seldom lit a lamp on the first try, having to reposition himself, left shoulder level with his right knee, right shoulder beading an imaginary plumb-line on the asphalt, his eyes straining to find the exact spot on the lamp-wick. His greatcoat was grackle with ashes, the tops of his shoes piebald with burns and charred lamp-wick.

Chadwick Piebald stood in the exact spot where the lamplighter lit his last lamp and higgledy fished for eels, gently pulling the eeling-string to and up. His great, great-uncle Moesha Piebald taught him at his knee to eel and string, tucking the caught eels beneath the greatest part of his greatcoat. They caught dogfish (Mustelus and Squalus) and dried it in a sooty fish-kiln built out of tinder and woo-dash. There is no Chadwick Piebald nor a great, great-uncle they are mere knockabouts in my head, collusions and disruptions, nothing more. Without them I would be lost, lost to other thoughts, thoughts of a less savory character. Right now, this very moment, I am thinking about the loss of character in my own life, my lifeless life; a life spent in search of characters to fill the emptiness, the void, of my own characterless life. Chadwick’s and Piebald’s; great, great greater uncles and waifs with raffish hair; jaunty jaunts and steps that tap and tip and tack across the blacktop top, these I imagine, or imagine imagining, the point seems measly and not worth the bother of getting to the point of, piebald baldness, roughed-out and copied onto tracing-paper. This squalor of thought; this thoughtless thoughtlessness: such upheaval and boondoggledness.

‘Mama I’m going to be sick’

“When you say beef-steak you really mean beef-heart, so stop mincing words.’ The shamble leg man disliked nothing more than someone who changed one word for another word, an idea for an idea. He liked his world straight-up and simple, not addled and punched with confusion and error. (Author’s note: I will spare you the insufferableness of italics, for now at least). ‘There is no room for error, none.’ That morning, the one in query, the shamble leg man awoke with a fly in his eye. It, the fly, wove a bracket of eggs in the seam of his eye. The fly (the one in his eye) frittered in the seam of his eye. (Amendment to author’s note: I will use italics only when in brackets). No salve could soothe the itching in his eye; no ointment, balm or liniment. His eyes, the corners and the part that points inwards, were larval with roe. When the shamble leg man was a boy his mother stewed beef-heart in tripe with eel-tails and calf’s tongue. His mother slow cooked the beef-heart in a cast-iron skillet whisking the tripe into the heart, making it soft and chewy. The shamble keg man abhorred the smell, an acrid stink that filled he house with offal and boiled calf’s tongue. His mother insisted that he eat a plateful, bowering over him like a crazed alewife, hissing and biting at her lip until she drew blood, which only maddened her worse. ‘People would die for a bowl of beef-heart’ she’d say hissing. ‘Children cutting they’re arms off for a mere taste of stewed beef-heart’. He held his nose and swallowed, forcing the offal beef-heart down his throat and passed his taste buds, praying that it wouldn’t touch the side of his own tongue or get stuck in the craw of his throat. ‘Mama’ he’d whimper ‘I can’t take another bite.’ She’d press is fingers round the fork, twisting the beef-heart into the tines, and lever the fork to his mouth, his eyes watery with the stench and boil. ‘Mama I’m going to be sick’. ‘Enough’ she’d hiss ‘enough of your stupid tricks, now eat!’

Beef-heart chowder and consommé, gumbo, bisque and bouillabaisse, his mother made whatever she could from whatever she had, tripe, sweetbreads, liver (some so swollen and cirrhotic they couldn’t fit in the skillet) prairie-oysters (pintsize calf’s testicles whipped with heavy cream and fennel) outside round and flank-steak, ox-tail and wild mutton, kidneys and cock’s tongue, the gore and sluice from the slaughterhouse floor.

She either boiled or skillet-fried everything, adding whatever spices and condiments the recipe required. She rolled calf’s brains in farina and cornmeal and made a makeshift oven out of cardboard and tin-foil, then placed it over the searing meat like a Pope’s Miter. She plucked chickens and guinea fowl, partridge and wild turkeys, then poached the pale pinkish skin in a double-boiler until it turned gray and mottled.

(Byron Babcock didn’t come home) flank-steak, ox-tail and wild mutton, kidneys and cock’s tongue, the gore and sluice from the slaughterhouse floor, his eyes watery with the stench and boil. ‘Mama I’m going to be sick’. ‘Enough’ she’d hiss ‘enough of your stupid tricks, now eat!’ His wife stole his Pope’s Miter, then his left shoe then his right, and then pretended she hadn’t stolen anything at all (pintsize calf’s testicles whipped with heavy cream and fennel). The man in the hat dreamt he was dreaming, and in that dream dreamt he was awake. Food plays tricks on (pintsize calf’s testicles whipped with heavy cream and fennel) an empty stomach. Words become images of food and emptiness, a Pope’s Miter, chickens plucked featherless, guinea partridge poached to a gray offal mottle, ‘enough of your stupid tricks, now eat!’ The emptiness plays tricks on wild turkeys, gore-tipped shoes swish-swishing across the top of the slaughterhouse floor. Nothing is what it seems, ever. Ever is what it seems, nothing. The man in the hat dreamt he was dreaming, and in that dream dreamt he was awake (all that offal awful, sluice-gate bilge, all that awful offal swirling down the drainpipe maw).

Overnight in the Overnight Sanitarium

That night overnight in the sanitarium the man overnight in the asylum developed a raking cough the likes of which the manager of the overnight sanitarium had never ever seen. They tried giving him a cough-suppressant but he continued to cough, they applied a warm facecloth to his throat but the coughing prevailed. Finally, after no little propitiation, they managed to arrest his coughing with a menthol lozenge and a tinctures’ worth of Fruit Smack. The man in the asylum overnight was making notes for God. He felt it his job (much more than a simple avocation) to take notes for God, describing in great detail, and with as much perspicuity as he could muster, what was happening in earth, the realm that existed outside the godly realm. He scribbled notes into a child’s exercise book with a pencil, making sure to date each entry at the top of the page. For example: October 28th nineteen-seventy-seven (he preferred writing out the numerals, as it gave them a stately more important look), Doctor Ballista gave Smith a shot of Thomasine to calm his jitters, followed with an ice-bath, a Smack Fruit enema and a Librium suppository. Smith responded poorly, his eyes turning into the back of his head, his legs jimmying like crazy; then he fell to the floor and bumped his head on the wingtip of Doctor Ballista’s shoe. The head nurse and the orderly Ackers then enacted The Hymn of the Pearl (also Hymn of the Soul, Hymn of the Robe of Glory or Hymn of Judas Thomas the Apostle) which Akers recited in the original Syriac. When Smith was slow to respond to the divine being’s message which came by way of a revealer (Doctor Owens, doctor Ballista’s assistant, a task generally ascribed to Jesus) the head nurse prescribed insulin-shock and a mild apagogic. He figured the best way to keep God apprised of the shenanigans going on down below was to keep a ledger, an unabridged compendium of the earthly realm (the one God cared not to live in) the very same one where he spent countless nights sitting in a lattice-backed chair in the asylum dining-room scribbling in his child’s exercise book. The man in the hat met the man in the overnight asylum one night when he was visiting a sick friend in the overnight sanitarium. His friend had swallowed a bottle cap (a bevel-edged Spruce Beer cap) his throat tighten like a garrote-knot. The Doctor prescribed a stool-softener and sent him home, saying that the bottle cap would find its way down his esophagus and out through his rectum when he had his next bowl-movement

once when she was at work
he moved her errors

Estaba sentada aquí tomándome algo y me he dado cuenta de que preferiría tenerte a ti en lugar de la copa. Tu aliento ole como los melocotones.

Mi hijo es un gángster sin corazón, y yo necesito un abrazo. Quiero mucho ver las diapositivas de vuestra operación de hígado pero en primer lugar necesito ir cortar mi cabeza en pedazos pequeñitos con mi peine. Un rey no muere nunca, solo duerme. He perdido mi pasaporte.

Me siento mal.

CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN


Carolee Schneemann, multidisciplinary artist. Transformed the definition of art, especially discourse on the body, sexuality, and gender. The history of her work is characterized by research into archaic visual traditions, pleasure wrested from suppressive taboos, the body of the artist in dynamic relationship with the social body.

Painting, photography, performance art and installation works shown at Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and most recently in a retrospective at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York entitled “Up To And Including Her Limits”.

THE LAUGHING SPAGHETTI FACTORY

Section One.

In the Laughing Spaghetti Factory there are:

(a) Hand-woven portraits of Mama Pork rendered in multicoloured silks and fuse-wire.

(b) A mock-up of the Sistine Chapel circa 1693 made from toothpaste.

(c) A selection of Andy warhol's wigs, including the one he wore when he died.

(Pick one of the above and go to Section Two)


In the Laughing Spaghetti Factory there are:

(a) A series of mildly racist jokes specifically designed to be offensive to Spanish people. They mostly involve incest and crying statues of the Blessed virgin. (The curators take no legal responsibility for any (i) riots, (ii) wars or (iii) accidental births that may occur as a result of this exhibition. The Laughing Spaghetti Factory exists outside of any known legal system and/or recognised conceptual continuality.)

(b) A wall of snails.

Section Two.

This is Section two. Please go to Section Four.

In the Laughing Spaghetti Factory there are:

(a) A number of water-colours (post-industrialist landscapes of Lowell, Georgia, mainly) painted using the diluted vomit of Jack Keruouac and his mother.

(b) Some old chipped marbles belonging to my father when he was a child that have been placed in an old Maxwell House coffee jar.

(c) A sty full of pigs wearing human masks. One of them is a representation of your face, drawn in wax crayons. Can you see it?

You're lying.

Section Three.

This is serious. Stop laughing. Go to Section Nine.

Section Four.

Go to Section Three. No, don't go.

Section Five.

In the Laughing Spaghetti Factory there are:

(a) Eleven blind men dressed as monks. None of them believe in God.

(b) A blind God dressed as a man. He believes in nothing.

(c) A choir of rotting cats.

(d) A row of telephones, endlessly ringing.

(Select one of the above that most closely resembles your body weight, then go home. If you die in your sleep then magpies will pick at your skin, half-heartedly searching for ticks.)

Section Six.

Close your eyes. Imagine there is a secret wardrobe that contains a homemade replica of JFK's blood-soaked shirt. There are strands of hair on the collar and tiny fragments of bone. Ignore this. Can you see me yet? I'm wearing ribbons. Open your eyes.

Go outside for fresh air. The cafeteria is now open.

Section Seven.

This is not Section Seven.

There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.

There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.

There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.
There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.
There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.

There is no Laughing Spaghetti Factory.

This is not Section Seven.

Section Eight.

Please, I'm begging you. Please Don't leave me.

THE MOMENT THAT I STOPPED LOVING YOU

Green Fluxus

Winding Gamma Nude

In came the Winding Gamma Nude, a n n n n n n n odd seethe, a blocked drain of a manchild, a pulsing oedema of.... (here even Henry trailed into disinterest; they all hated it - and coughed loudly - whenever the words themselves started to leak sobriety) a nnn nnnn nnnnnd more flecks of fruit per metre than anything Christy had ever seen.

(((((What big eyes you have etc.))))))

The Gamma Nude smiled annnnnnnnnnnd started rolling itself in, hoping to disappear completly my midnight.

"Don't you ever just... relate?" Christy asked.

The Gamma Nude shook his head, the hair grew outwards so quick that before Christy could really get her bearings he had flippd from:

<<<<according to a NELogic>>>>

"You never listen!" yelled Malcolm, already teaming with lice and lichen from his spell in the bush (cue jokes half-heartedly pushed out of Christy on a Bungle Bungle theme) but by then the Winding Gamma Nude was long long long.

IRON FATHER

Rain gossips underneath iron. Rain tastes the bicycle, watches it rust. Rain changes into iron. Buried cars are crushed by the weight of worms. Rain picture-shifts into an iron photo of my father.

Mange-riddled wolf compiles my father using a plague-box and creates a Scotch Western. Why did the stereo-glove ignore my glowing father? How come this iron rain flooded my father? His vehicle is its own logo.

Father Rain leaps! He leaps across the conduit and smokes a strange brown deposit. He laughs, then cycles home beneath a tourist. Father Rust objects. He eats a Hostess Rung Cake and slowly bursts. Father Rain decays!

Father Rust scores beneath the trash. This is a farce, he reckons. Why can’t I reach behind the microwave? Father Iron listens, then gestures. There is dust on his hands.

Ignore this line - it’s just a parody. A laughing peanut socket.

These booklets randomly document your father’s decline, they eventually told him. Sand him down, I say! Sand him down until only iron remains. Iron and rain.

She came slowly, in a flood of damp, shredded newspaper, snorting like a horse.

A wave of dark pestilence swept through her body, blotchy and swollen, like mumps. Knots of wood, rough and scabbed with lichen, formed on her forehead and leaked tiny drops of pale-coloured sap. A chill wind blew leaves and religious pamplets across the pillow.

The shadow of Christ on the Cross fell across us at a contrived, Expressionist angle, flickering in time with the lights from the airport and making us giggle like drunken children.

I don't think I've ever loved you more than in that moment.

When will my wine soaked heart learn that
the fear of uncertainty is steering me
into a haunting corner, wavering
my tomorrow
into dust

Monterey

"...which reminded me of a girl with slightly lopsided eyes and hair that fuzzed and fizzed over her shoulders and her beautiful long arms. When they ate her, I cried all through the night and my eyes were still black the next Monday when, to my surprise, they decided not to cancel work after all..."
