BLOOMSDAY

At ringend on june sixteenth nineteen hundred and four Molly opens her door and Literate Leopold plonks his kosher black pudding into her hand Isn't it grand to be remembered this way? Walking the streets and sucking the teats of the sow that eats its children Searching for meat on O'Connel streeet that has the tang of scented urine The well known literate degenerates long to have their hot-dogs stroked by baaaaaaaaaarnacles whilst sellin' knick-nack Paddywackery of dear old dirty dumpling How do they walk with her sausages and inner organs of beasts and fowls? their shanks sucked dry of whuskey on Denny's big breakfast show Well feck your arse! With a flame-grilled samuel becket burger and a side order of oscar wilde fries "warmth showered gently over him, cowing his flesh. Flesh yeilded amid rumpled clothes. Whites of eyes swooning up. His nostrils arched themselves for prey. Melting breast ointments. Armpits oniony sweat . Fishgluey slime. Feel! Press! Crushed! Sulphur dung of lions Young! Young! In the petri- Pish Pish Pish Dish spitoon culture the illiteraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaati hold a party "I'm a tiny tiny thing Ever flying in the spring Round and round a ringaring Long ago I was king Now I do this kind of thing On the wing, onnnnnnnn the wing!" Bing! Professor Latelate Lateshow Late review Was talking to ME…….. about yew What do yew think of that aesthetic crew? The opal hush poets? The master mystiks? The wanz thit cum to me in the sma' oors o the mournin' tae ask aboot plains o consciousness? They're all Barbers, says he, from the Black Country that would hang their own fathers for five quid down and travelling expenses! In Dublin's fine city Where the wine bars are pretty You can't find an ashtray You must smoke alone. Isn't it grand To be remembered this way Walking the streets and sucking the teats of the sow that eats its children?
