CYCLIC SPONTANEITY
A SINGULARITY OF SYNTAX AND A
CIRCULARITY OF THOUGHTS AND
FEELINGS WITH SOME CURLEQUES
AND SPONTANEOUS SURPRISES

En des Pentametres Iambiques

By Izzy Ess of Curliness

“Spontaneously, James Earl Ellingham,
The Earl of Effingham, lit up his big
Cigar, removed his dinner jacket, big
Bow tie and frilly blouse, turned down the lights,
Locked all the doors and windows and the cabinets,
And went for Lady Esther Queen, the Queen
Of Salisbury, who had followed Jim
Into the smoking room, continuing
To babble on about the situation
At the Royal Book Society
About the latest fluffle re the Daniel
Peter Miller novel, Ecstasy
In Blue, which told the torrid story of
The Princess Geneviève and the Prince
Of Sarajevo, both unknowingly,
The children of the King of Kush and Mistress
Eloise La Belle, both reared in secret
Orphanages in two different countries,
Poland and The Netherlands, identified
As royalty because of blue
And purple blemishes in private places,
In the shape of sailing vessels, only
Seen by monks and nuns, who even kept
The orphans tightly under wraps and under
Burlap underwear, for more than eighteen
Years of age, while teaching all the children
How to dress and strip without a glimpse
Of skin below the neck, except for hands
And feet, a cruel and totally unfruitful
Custom that was taught to all the children
Of the Roman Catholic Monasteries
And the Nunneries, until just recently,
When Pope Samantha studied Child
Psychology and Normal Child Development,
And realized that this old custom
Was traumatically shocking later
On, when adolescents, old and young
Adults, who weren’t becoming monks and nuns,
Re-entered their societies and started
Having interchanges with the unencloistered
Population, which included
Royalty, especially including
Handsome James Earl Ellingham, the Earl
Of Effingham and lovely Lady Esther
Queen, the Queen of Salisbury, who
Spontaneously followed suit by taking
Off her sparkling evening gown, her diamond
Tiara, necklaces and bracelets
And her burlap underwear and everything,
except her high-heeled spikes and helped
The Earl remove his trousers and his burlap
Underwear, his watch and tinny and
His blue suede shoes, but not his woollen, Argyle
Socks, to shockingly discover they
Had black and blue bright birthmarks on their genitals,
In all the shapes and Royal signatures,
And might be siblings, but just after
Several moments of traumatically
Shocking observations, they spontaneously
Did explore the pleasure-pain
Of social intercourse and started learning
How to get entwined and firmly, deeply
And so lovingly enjoined, thus overcoming
Years of inhibition and
Just obviating any need for psychotherapy,
Or Roman Catholic Catechism,
Or some blooming Royal bloody
Counselling, which would have altered all
Spontaneous activity, allowing
Joy and Rapture, Love and Happiness,
And Peace and Ecstasy, forever, eh?”

AMEN AND HALLELUJAH!

THE END

  1. i believe this poetic form is original, inasmuch as I've never seen it before. however, since there's nothing new under the sun, someone like Ogden Nash may have done it and been afraid to publish it...

  4. what if god were created in men's and women's and children's images?

    what if god was a wish made by someone who wants to know everything, an impossible wish held by many people who cannot tolerate chaos?

    what if tolerating chaos was a genetically determined trait, like the right or left headedness of us all?

    what if god was an image in the brain of someone in a drug, or non-drug induced trance, like the way Joseph Smith envisioned the golden plates and the angels Moroni and Mormoni when he starved himself for 14 days in the woods seeking guidance for his chaotic life influenced by severe psychosis-inducing hypoglycemia?

    What if the allegory of Abraham/Ibrahim was smoking hashish when he saw god who gave him instructions about creating a powerful nation of Jews and Arabs by begatting Ishmael and Isaac as an older man?

    why do biblical leaders and prophets frequently mention fasting when an important decision is to be made?

  5. incidentally, chanting and listening to the constant beat of drums often induces trances in everyone, even those who profess they can't be hypnotized...
