ORGASMATRON
by =Bill-Nace

The Sacred Chronicles 

* * First movement:
Children "hush" as whirlwinds blow among them. You can taste it like the Sweet Mother of God who spits from her mercy seat green sputum like broken toys from a decedent Christmas tree .
Her piss drips from the cheek of each sacred child from Her Holy See
And the Christ child becomes a curious whore, of dicks and dank cum for alter boys. 
See what sweet Mother has done?
- Casa Nostra placebo
- Co-redemptrix Paracelsus
- Madiatrix bella donna
- Our neon bride on dashboard alters
* * Second movement:
Count backwards from ten:
The room fades as the ether drops:
A faded apparition of Guadeloupe's Hocus-pocus
Her eyes of darkness stood behind me
* * Third movement:
"All the fun is going on down there."
So she decides to climb down Jacobs latter
Peeks between the lattice fence
and kicks the shit out of Joseph's ass
For the monumental lie he told.
Besides he got to spend much time
With little Lambs on the hill
That keep him warm at night
and satisfied with his warm Guns
Mother, Father, and me the son
Play cosmic child abuse
Once again
* * Bowel Movement:

 
Bad/Good Dreams

I remember the day blue with no sound when the green movement circled my dream without a sound, void, lightning and fear like dread. Visions of semblance in the corner, under the watchtower, the earful music drudge the cracks, smells of dank-ness dirt from the grave. This wicked dream fell ministerial monastery gargoyles, the eyes, the eyes.

I remember the dreams of color, angel music, light decimal music . It connects in the secret places so deep but joyful, transparent longing in the mouth of the blue Rhino-like piano, it takes me deep in the ocean of life, plants of color. The sea turnip is a denial of the bad and the ocean waters eat happy hidden smile sea-fish.

Na na na na, la la la la the sound goes on, sacred unintelligible/intelligible feeling spring from the delight of blue oysters bitten by the non-revenge of the latent girl, girl with the golden flaxen hair, he wears the hair like monkey mothers.

Not more slice and dice dads Cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, He went to shoot me and cut me instead blood daddy,blood on my face, mom on my happy,
Mom on my happy dreams, 
won't you come?

ORPHEUS, JESUS AND FUCK HYMN 
MOVEMENT ORPHEUS
In time in life gestures, hand-grab oversize Orpheus 
Sing song
Sing song of war destinies
Watch them flow
Hearts of comfort, hearts of fear
Hear voice in register, high register
Zeus and Olympian Olympus

MOVEMENT FUCK

Let's not sing in legal but in the freedom of fuck
O sing, O sing a new song, a song of of newness and Salvation
Dance-a dance upon
the ever-flow ,the ever-glow the over-flow, over-tow
Sing the word fuck, Jesus, and fuck
From Orpheus to Christ to fuck

Pull up the death of convention
the oaks of old, like newness of Christ-fuck
And turn it on new, like the girl
who smiles while backward masking
She has the way to turn on the sexodex
on my Rolodex she keeps mega-reflex

MOVEMENT JESUS

Jesus, Savior, King of the Heavens
Away O ye Avernus I cast thee
Merriment from the heart
In excelsis gloria, 
I sing to thee
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott 
With newness of song
Fuck you girl
Jesus Fuck
Morpheus.

WATERFALLS

Secrets are in the air
she caught them in her left hand
like lightning bolts emanating from the tips of her fingers
shaking the very roots of our being
and sends her oracles to each, and delights of dour electric hands

And you see her in the hall,
up against the scarlet wall
the rambles, scrambles
her feats of daring-do
our Superwomen of deception is attracted to you

Believing is simple for the simple I suppose
these blank minds in blank times
fall down the scarlet walls like waterfalls.
I wash in it, bath in it naked for all to see
we live out a pantomime
and we do so galenty.

THE DANCE OF THE DEAD REBEL
BY :WILLIAM "BILL" NACE


Before “was” when the counsel of men met with the nephilim
it was decided that “in time” the earth and all good things 
would explode in wicked adoration, each grouping of man to slay the other 
until all danced with Dante, much to their utter destruction. 
(The sound stone from Orion, segment 14)

Fighting: fist held high in plasticine nights
stars cut out like street lights with decadent delight, 
by Red evil
Who are you, 
O brightest star Betelgeuse?

Countenance on the floor -
A decoupage of neon-blinking-reflections tell all
He the punch did take the crunch, insulate my diamond lunch
In the corner I existed, twisted wrapped in the existential 
as the pseudo-sovereign terror instigates:

And she's coming, she's running for her own consensual rot -
racing, to bring evil to this land of protracted instigation
Can you see, feel, smell,, what came down?
Can you see, feel, smell what came down?

Too young to laugh at grandma’s grave
and I thrill at your moth bitten frame
Dark gray beast of humanesque form, bit her for an eternity
and blind eyes see without sight:

No light escapes the Dante- dance
She does a Dante dance, an Infernal dance
in the eye of a glance
in unfettered chains, a Dante dance.

In a twist of chandelier light, another stood in madrigal delight
She does a beauty dance, as dignified as a sightless camouflage
conversations made, without a sound
Arguments made without logic, only portraits snapped in rambling grays
But the pages turn lightly you see
And the idea of perfection made
Is an illusion like the stench of grandma's grave

There was a covenant made, two who became one flesh.
When you think about it the process is a bloody mess
the two who became flesh....

THE ABJECTION AND MISERY OF ABSTRACTION-CREATION

 

Salvador Dali

 

The ingenious experiment of Picasso simply proves the material conditional nature, the deifying and ineluctable nature, in regard to the physical and geometric precisions of aesthetic systems, biological and frenetic systems of the concrete object. Since I feel inspired to do so, permit me to speak to you in verse: Such is the case with that tiny ultra-anecdotal figurine of a sprightly reclining pickaninny in the style of Meissonier; the boy, if looked at vertically is merely the ultra-rich and even plastically succulent shadow of a Pompeian nose — highly respectable on account of its degree of abstraction-creation! If, as they claim, forms and colours have their own aesthetic value beyond their “representational” value and their anecdotal meaning, then bow could they resolve and explain the classical paranoid image,with its double and simultaneous representation, which can easily offer a strictly imitative image, ineffective from their point of view and yet, with no change, an image that’s plastically valid and rich? Retarded Kantians, sticky with their scatological golden means, never stop wanting to offer us on the new optimism of their shiny paper, this soup of abstract aesthetics, which in reality is even worse than those colossally sordid warmed-up noodle soups of neo-Thomism, which even the most convulsively famished cats wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. The flagrant lack of philosophic and general culture in the cheerful propellers of that model of mental deficiency that calls itself abstract art, abstraction-creation, nonfigurative art, etc, is one of the authentically sweetest things from the viewpoint of the intellectual and “modern” desolation of our era.

 

 

The biological and

dynastic phenomenon

that constitutes the Cubism

of Picasso

was

the first great imaginative cannibalism

surpassing the experimental ambitions

of modern mathematical

physics.

Picasso’s life

will form the not yet understood

polemical basis

in accordance with which

physical psychology

will reopen

a gap of living flesh

and obscurity

in philosophy.

 

 

For because

of the anarchic and systematic

materialist

thought

of

Picasso

we shall know physically

experimentally

and without the

“problematic” psychological innovations

with a Kantian flavour

of the “gestalt-ists”

all the misery

of

objects of conscience

localised and comfortable

with their cowardly atoms

the infinite and

diplomatic

sensations.

For the hypermaterialist thought

of Picasso

proves

that the cannibalism of the race

devours

“the intellectual species”

that

regional wine

soaks

the family fly

of the phenomenologist mathematics

of

the future

that there is such a thing as extra-psychological

“strict figures”

intermediary

between

the imaginative fat

and

the monetary idealisms

between

transfinite arithmetics

and sanguinary mathematics

between the “structural” entity

of an “obsessive sole”

and the conduct of living beings

in contact with the “obsessive sole”

for the sole in question

remains

totally exterior

to the understanding

of

the gestalt theory

since

this theory of the strict

figure

and structure

has no

physical means

allowing

the analysis

or even

the registering

of human behaviour

with regard to

structures

and figures

objectively

manifest

as

physically delirious

for

there is no such

thing now

as far as I know

as a physics

of psychopathology

a physics of paranoia

which might be considered

simply

the experimental basis

of the coming

philosophy

of the

psychopathology

the coming

philosophy of “paranoid-critical” activity

which some day

I shall try to envisage polemically

If I have the time

and the inclination.
