live in the gulf treading water in backyard pools laced with 50-proof biblebooks, the locks of their Chem Pro green hair swiftly whipping droves of mosquitoes from the finer darts of sex & lies at a rate of 1000 per second, commissioned by a grand jury which is still sequestered in Dallas over serial questions of ho & mo. Hysteric homunculi shine out of railway backyards & Oklahoma with halos & anonymous writings pressed between emerald beads & a renewed interest in the emergent, lace-veiled authority of Homer, never losing a hardliner nerve, nor softest of virginities, nor a news beat between church and grocery aisles, while singing rousing praises of the men and arms of Texan politicos, or else spending their money on brand new Hum Vees & nightly dreams of the perfect gasoline once spilled fruitlessly on potholed ground. Hysteric homunculi are not related to Amazons of Wall Street or Washington but are directly descended from the cloud of unknowing & could, so have hunted naked the shifting alpha-bet-males who circle back to follow, beating loudly their Mitty conundrums in poetics reminiscent of baton twirlers and football pom pom worshippers. Please send your bucks as soon as possible to the Preserve Hysterical Homunculi Fund: they are a dying breed which PBS has offered to feature in a special fund drive-over, so to preserve forever the sweet nothings of this dwindling national treasure, these ever accommodating hysterical homunculi, living in dire straits during these times of absolute emergency, the pain and shame of our continuing U. S. consumer adversity.
