ARCHETYPAL CONDUITS: MANTAS, STEP FORWARD
051210 Archetypal Conduits : MANTAS & I :
Deviations regarding a partnership that could only spring
Alongside the bowel movement of a Devil’s Advocate Supreme;
See the Manipulator radiate an Angel On My Shoulder at Todd’s Wheel;
Inside the Quixotic Throat.

Peering backwards,
To examine this particular Archetypal Conduit
To flow from the likes of studio apartment navigators
Mike, Jory, Shamsy, Manhole, Forrest, Loud & myself,
To name a few, at least,
Settling for a time within the intimate confines of the Monkey House —
NW 21st & Everett in Portland,
Shared bathroom on the other side of the wall,
Brown mucus sweating through and pouring down my side
Dripping from taped-up flyers.
Professing mescaline tears,
Refrigerator-related fears,
South Node Aquarian origin of a nebulous Goulash recipe,
A solemn Tower at the end of long voyage beyond the sea
(Death : Human : Australian pressing).
Laundry room/cellar:
Three bodies buried in the dirt patch,
Metaphorically Michael, Joris & I
Following the demise of ye olde Clitorectomy Ritual,
Was the landlord to forgive my neglect of the rent for four-months time?
Yes, he did, upon mention of said three bodies.
I discovered them.
041910 The burial of Swift : subsequent rescue of the cockroach at the Monkey House :
Spider at Bathcave : the Hari-Kari bee at Sawickster’s.
333
And lest we forget Al-Sawickster,
From the Land of Wait It Out,
Who first colored in the item Archetypal Conduit,
Fleshed out the term.
And now,
MANTAS,
step forward.
(Again.)
