The Features - Fri Aug 21 00:18:48 2009


Heading into risqué territory now, somewhat inspired by Jean Baudrillard's The Transparency of Evil and his analysis of the ideology of transexuality in the Western imagination. What exactly is "The Hell of the Same," and is The Same a hell under construction?

the features of the human form · attached ·
the booby · and the great entangled hair ·
a little body like a hostess · big ·
afloat · the tail · the serpent · fastened to
a native woman devil · so defined ·
the beauty of a dualism · as
the same idea · to appear · combined
together · for a sally of Brazil ·

the balls were left in peace · a little way
apart · the wild banana · having been
a hundred dollars · as the gauchos say ·
perfect · a great deposit · for a wild
Brazilian youth · the whole acquires such
a petticoat · combines · becomes erect ·
the metaphysics of the organ · as
a part · a portrait of a stick · afloat ·

a little body with a hole in each ·
afloat · a dualism · now exposed ·
transparent · of a single sex · perhaps
the most obliging · with a body like
a mirror · like a toy · the people are
composed · the best · the power to express
a few degrees beyond the cock · until
the lower parts were veiled in fleecy clouds ·
