"Exergue XIV" from The Tryst of Thetica Zorg by Daniel Y. Harris

Orb Oran hires a vivisectionist. Beet and apple pectin aid

blood clotting for bricolage. By sputum, eikons gap binaries.

Dodo mode pricked in ersatz. That’s a crock. A zaum

for the noetic gift? Salvador Dracu removes the seal

         from Astroglide. Stock prices soar on dildotectonics,

while words sink in slovo kak takavoe. Waxy stalactites 

drip vaginal fluids. Queering objects for gender fluidity,

Orb codifies hacktivists with boiled plasma. Nanodiscs

recognise neoantigens and kill them. Trepeins spawn

linctus with spikes. Staccato logic’s a fleur du mal 

whose encryption login is y = m + n – two variables. 

         Who better for hagiography than a hacktivist? 

Adonis is slain by a boar. Software from synaxis

be dope. Sensory overload scales up infrared lumin,

         4×1033 erg/sec (4×1026 watts), and overhauls

the gag. Solomon called his orations Chaldeack, calleth

         Hely, minutes earlier. Translocality has merit

as do quaint geotags. Next, spam enfilade tailed

by angelus novus. Go forward, block by block. Unfetter

our wunderkinds. Orb types line 213: iph->daddr = get_

random_ip() and queues pellitory gamers. “Don slashed

satins and sarcanets. Ball this fakery,” she quips,

but the gamers and busy tweaking their terahertz bats.   

         Artificial scalps are handed out. Velocity

becomes dromomania and curdy spume is lost. No

gauge is ora, ora pro nobis. Rather, pity. Tact’s spicy

lid invites Turing’s machine. In closing, zeugmas

pun on combat settings. The Imp was defunct.

Imps were perfunctory.
