Crushed the peach, in a strange osmosis.

(Sucks. Sucks longer.)

(Misses the pit. Continues. Gives thanks:)

Thanks, and condolences.

(Sound of slap. Pause.) -- Again! (Sound of slap, limping.)

(Improves.)

Just a little love, twice a day. (Sneaks up behind.)

the whole bag of tricks --

Childless still. Pounded

on the rim.

Daydream much, Lockhead?

Nope.

Then you're a lucky man. And a bachelor?

To boot.

 


 

Synopsis of KILDARE

(Motley sketch of everything that has never been believed):


 

Sheila is a talk show hostess whose luster can't make up for her crummy sense of timing. Nonetheless worshipped, full of karma, ambitions, and cash, she sallies forth in quest of past lives during the course of minor surgery (a mere routine procedure), while under the influence of a local (anesthetic).

From an Arcadian operating scenario Sheila's consciousness spins back through a series of past lives (mostly her own) in the guise (not in chronological order) of a petty thief, Benedictine (captured by pirates), "All Gums" Evelyn, Tinkerbell (down home), Homecoming Queen, a contortionist, Herself - but zapped to Mars, and other girl champion archetypes.

After a brief interview, soul search, reminiscences, and Time Trip (a stroll down involuntary memory lane), Sheila stumbles at length upon the real New Age (future and post-nuclear) where, incarnated as Carmen, she takes a central part (that of Good) in a struggle against the crazy Doctor Kildare, right in the midst of his gamble for universal (what remains of it) leadership. Due to shape-shifting, an equivocating slave, and other set-backs, the duel ends in a draw (though Sheila maintains an upper hand). Kildare is dissolved (or is he?).

Finally, in any case, in a triumphal cross of bliss with unemployment, in the spirit(s) of beating and joining both, Sheila merges with the (putrid, stinking) half-life of the still moldering Kildare, giving rise (before it's too late) to a prodigious chorus of somewhat interchangeable (36 - 24 - 36) nurses who, along with their ever-faithful servant-breeder Klink, make off to the pastoral eternity of laughing gas.

 

 

(Trumpets.)

Sheila's Feelings Beyond

First, a tickling thru needles

(over 40, monstrous)

ramped around the throat and then down, down

where fingers punch through for breath
in eddying recesses

His: inhumanly quick from desperation
Hers: inhumanly quick every time

And, suddenly, she couldn't breathe (old beams the afternoon;

a ceiling caves) Granted: bad water; granted: the fuse;

she locates the blockage, punches a hole through -- He: from the

side now/rejamming fingers -- She: might collapse, instead rips

OR: sensation left her legs, she quick

          seized with teeth

          and, as he dies, gives in to her own pain

cleanses herself, leaves the girl in

better hands

Oh, but she'd observed J's tongue then (nothing stops that)

pickling inside

And asked how such a sight

ever arranged

Softening ---

 


 

Sheila, post-Shipwreck

 

becoming a prow

(or sacrifice)

cut the ropes/ not their daughter.

How her grip weakens

How her grip weakens Dad's legs . . .

Cut the cord!

Beth, impulsively hid in the well
while the virus instructs
these mad couplings

(bottomless with trolleys)

(psst -- the beastly disease that claims . . .)

and mom-as-illustration

feet first in hunger.

EVEN SO

On both sides, in the spiritual way,

as said, the breasts were props.

 


 

TIME TRIP

Scene I:

Sheila: (in the violator's head

            meaning reptilian, slinky.)

            You fail! (aside) before being given much chance.

            (Raises whips.)

            J.:    (gets in line with the other hooded forms).

            Waits for DOOMSDAY.

            (Sobs, soft.)

            Doesn't think twice. Done thinking.

 

Sheila: And now that we're happy, totally, whadda we do now?

Johnny: Take a vacation?

 

(II: Pretty desert)

The trysting tree trysts. The trysting tree cleaves, and all the rest oozes. Sequence of toasts and splashings. A shadow falls.

 

(II a.: 'The Dawn'.)

Land of Our Forebears, but do-able.

Several of Sheila's past lives Enter and Exit. She salutes.

Sheila as ancient cult figure; stuck. Johnny pulls her out,

physically, as from quicksand.

Snapshots: Johnny-as-captain.

            Johnny-as-cameraman.

            Sheila in onepiece. Sheila in garters. Sheila in chains. The legs open. Morsels.

Sheila:  (plaintive). Scratch me! No, lower (more plaintively). Ah!

(Trecks across time.)

(Memories from opera plots.)

(A flurry of postcards.)

Meanwhile, in their dreams, and when they're meditating, the tragedies tune
in, i.e.,

a Marketplace for Sacrifices

(Gags one sister while mincing up the other.)

SEE EVE DROOL BLOOD!

 

Guess which the droopy servant offers next on her tray --

What were the leftovers before?

 

(as backdrop) Sheila: Where's the welcome crew?

            Johnny: Oh, shut up.

(Quibbles and Old Abuse.)

Later Sheila (reviving) forages for miracles.

Return to Scene I.

 


 

the PORTRAITS as GIRL CHAMPIONS

 

HEISTS:

A Long Island mansion, lynx in the hand

found dead, the mind out, wouldn' let her quit

on metal shell training

to switch back home - in slacks

all that litter -- humph.

Wait a sec.

 

Later . . .

 

 a.k.a.: (Fully restrained.)

 Warden: (as nurse; false angelic).

  All better?

 a.k.a.: (dopey). Good, it feels good,

it feels carnival, General.

 

Next thing -- footwork

a.k.a. -- ouf!

Take, that.

 

. . . double-crossed with spite and dark, expensive secrets.

 


 

Poor, hostage, Benedictine

 

 

Captive-cum-empress in pirate fleet dome

('else it's back to the slave trade for females

and Latin kids)

 

She's forced to sip, gussied

up, pinned down.

 

Come give her a clue, a penny.

Head lube and oil change --then--

speaking only gibberish

martinis her way home.

(She could break you like a pencil,

sweet touch-me heart-o.)

 

 

Thud

 

here goes/

everyone's only chance.

 


 

. . . In the most SENSUAL LIMBO Ride:

 

 

 

Hey! Milkers!

(they squirt the glass with mama-whip)

SAP, that is, baby food,

 

IS TASTY!

 

. . .

 

 

EVELYN, all GUMS

(don't dare call her 'Miss')

 

REMOVES the TEETH,

INHALES every drop.

 

 

Hot, boiling --

Why watch when you can lick?

 


 

DOWN HOME: Real Anterior Riches

 

OR Beautiful tropical plant in full bloom seeks

Nurseryman (seeder) to watch for measurement:

 

 

THE NYMPH-ISLE Antidote

 

No, menace these days

Bored on the ROCKS seeks

a nipple's reasonings, a staple

underground sum

the length of all chocolate

times each of its instances, sigh-enlarged

(and later, by extra)

in turgid permanence

Why's Captain afraid

to see Nell's joints quadrupling? she says

it feels okay --

 

 

They mask and net in mermaid there
though out too long and tropic scars
the teeth fresh, soft perking.

 


 

Next, guava-round, our Homecoming Queen

 

 

 

(w/ her density oscillate)

marched to this system

(figured her nylons kept liturgically down)

in an Emancipation outfit

(landscape stuffed in the bust props)

and with numerous floats, old time

(extra blossoms, the innovation: a sliding)

pace that upsets all;

its pounds scramble at the rear to uphold --

 

 

this favorite string
pulls light then.

 


 

Circus Girl, then, drowning

 

 

in mid-performance (a violation)

shinnied to the dead point awoke

self-peeled

obligatory roulette, one-a-day

(circus girl's toy-zone) notched

by its tumble.

 

 

 

THE LEASH --- Grommet C:

The Leash -- pirouette, somersault,

orders indifference, mattering regular

skins herself but won't strip

woebegone, a bride/

glued tight.

 


 

COME TO TAKE HER BACK

 

 

So, better join them.

 

The eye w/o pupil

and darn, on Mars dropped

(in less weight: bad stomach)

 

WHY Blue Man's vision
should BOTHER Sheila?

(in her transparent yellows) -- All marionettes --

 

And if she don't feel like it?

 

Stoic fellow,

gets this situation's gravity

(though parasites its outcome)

 

desperate lunge in a fog
or a ketchup

 

and from sundry reports in need of an extra --

 

 

SHEILA: Why wouldn't any old girl do?

 


 

Post-post nuclear COMBAT across
NEVER-NEVER LAND

MONEY vs. Organs (or, KILDARE REVISITED)

Begins on gasps: rapid, allergic:

(Doc "Majesty" asleep, in a pile
dresses rubber.)

With the way his metabolism spins

and the nipples remove to show

drowning nasturtiums, or less . . .

(The nurse abandoned under a shelf, gagged
while her masked sisters combat
the genetic experiments.)

 

Enter, The Invisible: Now, for Kildare!

            Take him to the cryogenic cell.

(. . . and two levels higher:)

            Evacuate!

Kildare: I think I see why everyone looks alike now!

            I can still feel the pain of my (her) lung

            being yanked from my (her) chest.

            I know why the dwarf's nick-named "Tremble".

 

No side effects. None.

(Kildare winks.)

(Inset: The Doc (who melted down some in ex-nuclear rain): (poised and grins). Here goes! My chance to whip Sexy to pieces.

(Grumbles heard from the opponents.)

Carmen: (breaking in). Quick! A power cell

  or Kildare (and the whole she-bang) will die!

(She doesn't realize: his cracked proclivities.)

Later, and miles off, in architectural safety
at Kildare's lab (or den) in the pit:

Kildare: I'm on to save the race.

(Aside: laughter.)

Carmen: But the cell wasn't found.

Kildare: Then combat!

Carmen: What about the Blob's indomitable slave-squad?

Kildare: Get them.

 

* * *

Misguided Carmen and her sisters (plus their Blue-Man cousins)

a whole gang of Pusses in Boots, but more practical:

they're scared. In the distances

rebel patrols huddle. And mutants, traps, poison streams, mutants

heat, pinchings, mutants and MORE.

 


 

LOST IN THE ONE-TIME FOREST . . .

 

 

Damnation! (or Downtown) followed by a flood

and the Troll-device Net

a triple-crossing

in which Carmen

falls for this contemporary hunk-mutant guy

(Kildare would (and maybe will) stamp out his likes)

 

 

while the others -- Soba, Edrin, Blue, Cousins all --

luck out, finding a sewage pipe, tumble down

(gingerly), hope Carmen's all right.

 

 

 

. . . She even calls his mutant dad (a lumpy dwarf) 'Kute'.

What's big boy's name? --Klink.

Height? --Six-six and upwards.

Acid-dimpled, blistered, with a cowlick perm.

 

 

The troll hums some waltzes. (Nick-name Savant.)

 


 

Carmen: SING ALONG!

 

 

She's ready (kids, truck, a ranch) for n'importe;

built to settle down

but maybe too slow?

Doc nabs them on the monitor; can't believe

his crystal -- pawing -- he fumes.

 

 

. . . Meanwhile, tuneful, humid, and adangle:

Soba: Grip, Blue! Hold on! And don't look now - but --

 

(The stones, each a shark, or worse,

flash reptilian.)

 

 

 

Carmen: But there's a world out

there, beyond these putrid conduits.

Klink: Gosh, you're pretty.

 


 

Complex S.

 

 

Remove the lip plate and

smack -- a freckled export kiss.

Remove the breast plates:

she's one among thousands,

collects defeats, back-slithering.

Gagged: sometimes.

So feisty and tenacious.

 

* * *

Initiating, Kildare multiplies.

Soba: Hey!

Kildare: Mission Accomplished.

She'll be kept as a specimen, though.

(Throttles her.)

 

Soba: Yeah. Fine. Go ahead.

 


 

SAME Time, SOME Place.

 

 

Savant: Ullm . . . ulummmmmm (prophetizes)

            there's more on the way.

            But unless he gets human

            their fates turn.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, same Critter,

(far off and underground) wakens, stretches

and (thanks to poor planning)

the Slave returns, hobbles,

unzips most of his skin

so he's naked, but identical (Klink).

 

(Calls to be remodeled):

            Doc-maniac! Doc sloppy!

            Yes, and in record time.

            All better now, except

            for the indelible death marks of course.

 

 

  Slave:  (Speaks from the ooze.)

            Fix me up Doc,

            make me human for once!

            I wanna be one of them.

      Kildare: I saw you die!

Slave (Klink): Well I'm back now.

            Though kept alive for decades

            as experimental tissue

            nipped, green accessless

            clinically gone

 

            (whistles) . . . what you done for me so far.

 

* * *

Kildare: And what of the old mood swings?

Slave: Just pull the switch!

 


 

ELSEWHERE, in a Time Vise:

 

 

"Sequence completed."

The overblown molecules,

they pink and veer at Carmen's feet

as she eddies . . . down . . .

 

 

Carmen: (psychedelically). PLEase

            don't zap me back to the creep reptiles again!

            And stop that twirling!

            (What a DRAG.)

 

(It usually slaughters, though,

or flays alive.)

 

 

 

Meanwhile, on another end of the glitch:

 

Something's not right in toxic city.

The water, it clears

into a viral sabotage. . .

 


 

IN Steps ECOMAN, Huge Savings,

 

 

with his purifier scheme

(glimpses of coinage).

He mans the canal to this ward

(toxic city).

 

 

The victims, bleary-eyed, cheer

and claw for outcomes.

"Excellent".

"They don't taste like rocks."

 

 

(All mutants cheer.)

 


 

TRAPS TO ROUT PHONIES

 

 

Carmen: (landing in Lady Murasaki's body). Nurse!

Nurse: Yes, Madam.

            (Temptation is her sideline.)

Carmen: What's next on the agenda, Nurse?

            (Woozy, aside, pictures the friends

            she left hanging.) HELP!

            (She knocks Nurse out.)

 

Will Carmen be useful in this guise

of ancient wealth

though remote-controlled

a living decoy, all fake?

 

(Bubbles up electronically):

The Invisible: Materialize. Unfold.

(Appears: a decoy Carmen, double-jointed and virtual.

Flips; vanishes.)

Too late. But the clouds
hang slightly on her image still.

 

Soba: (voice off). That the skin could melt

            into pretty jellies, to spread

            deliciousness.

 

Carmen (as Lady M.): Hey! Quit clipping my tresses!

Nurse: Doctor's orders.

Carmen: Oh, yeah?

 

Out in the TIME Capsule:

 

Mysterious girl, her face zipped in red leather,

pedals through the carnage and flames, she's driven, sneaks

past lab security and -- click -- starts loading

shopping bags with mutant samples

but not soon enough --

Nurse: Off with the bonnet! (Aiming.)

Lady M.: (-- astounded --). Soba!

(They kiss, at length. Passionate. Lovemaking flashbacks.)

Soba: I was afraid I'd never see you again!

Lady Murasaki: I didn't know you cared. (Aside: Hmmmm.) What

 about . . . what's her name . . . Carmen?

Soba: Who?

Lady M.: Never mind (grabbing the bags). You won't get away with this! Nurses!

 

But they've gone down with the ship. Lady M. (Carmen) and Soba

huddle close

as the time-swirl breaks open in mid-air: hungering, lathered.

With the bag of tricks, they're vacuumed under (but blissful).

 

 

END of Episode.

 


 

The ESCAPE of a nurse-liturgical chorus to
BANDAGED PARADISE

 

DOC -- CAUGHT (Epilogue)

 

between savagery and good

(his motto: 'in and out; operate miracles')

his surfaces radiate

hair matches, not for nothing

was he known as -- whatever --

plus all the cute mutants he's restored and adopts:

Vermilion-stamped, now shot

at the hands of his own girls

(young, in love, candy-striped)

who -- viral-- creep

flushing life slowly out.

 

Nurse Chorus: Masters, come! Breed us again!

(Moaning.)      Keep us rustic, golden messes

            stalked for fun, given plenty of nothing

            fed among dogs and, beauty-

            injected, taught to envy poisons.

 


 

SO Young, so mistaken, and so Gauze-Tangled . . .

 

 

Identical nurse triplets

(dewy from sweetness)

discover and unmuzzle the slave

(gone limp with silence)

(evocative, dangerous)

and suddenly, they're run-aways

 

off to find thrills in the woods!

 

(Slave lumbers after them.)

 

 

Nurses: (disguised as unlicensed shepherds --

in filthy air --

sing). From comfort seethes anguish!

Curb surgeons by smacks

(with cleavage interspersed).

To bathe in lavish blisters

Darken our Instruments.

 


 

From foolish adoration to adultering fools . . .

 

 

Nurses: (still singing). Kiss ambitious invalids,

            collect their spare parts

            while tending new lambs

            and gouging the backsides of wolves.

            Yip-eee!

 

 

 

Slave (as beast) (an ex-libertine) drools lusty; attends,

embossed with mutant gashes, but

ever compact and tuneful

skips alongside, fans them,

declares: What a life!

With his gravy-dunked brain

laughs --

In an economy of glances employed,

hands out medicines; keeps his image up-to-date.

 


 

. . . As they gambol on through the butchery pastures . . .

 

 

 

WOODSMAN, full of thirst

but fresh out of manners

and thorny-veined; he'd devour

the nurses, but's held back

by a sudden ringing in his ears.

Becomes love-crippled;

carves songs in the trees.

 

 

 

Song (infectious):

A life of spare parts

bucolic-mechanical

happy, happy, and most HAPPY

with flawless complexions

a salary of bruises

though uniformed, quirky, melts:

 

Uncork and Stomach Us!

(Hands on hips, all pirouette.)

 


 

Klink: (as Slave).

 

 

 

Pebbles worse than squirrels' teeth,

I eats them -- but why?

Luscious, brown -- try it.

 

 

Quick! I'm late, though maudlin.

(Oh me oh me.)

If I were normaler, I'd linger a while.

 


 

 

NEXT: IDEAL LANDSCAPES (Ecoman's Doing)

OR, Abstracts harm and leave PITTANCES:

 

 

 

Benign, benign.

 

Exposed and ornamented their best sides (bottoms)

all feeling the same, touched, very

unattractive and rural; equipped with casts

who studied realignment, child-cult style

(not by play alone):

 

 

Nurse Team: Beat us and Join us

            with love, pure, but intentions

            very tainted, a warning: deliver:

            Gullible Trainees: boisterous, ripe,

            (a nice meal for bobcats)

            set up camp against all odds (aforementioned)

            strew flowers, imbibe,

            and counterfeit new memberships.

 


 

Nurse-Sorceresses

 

 

Swept off, in a fatal craze

(under orchards, deeper)

dabbled in blood: who's worse: Mom or child?

 

Insatiate, herbal and cruel - begin.

 

 

The remedy SECRET:

(Nurse 1:) "Sleep a while, next to me."

(Nurse 2:) "If I can keep clean, I'm safe."

 


 

Pre-finale: How Anyone ever ended up THERE
(In outer-space??)

Sung, in     The more I look, the more I like
unison,
but OFF:     the fissures, their shapes,

            dimensionful intentions.

 

            "Then or whenever

            come and get it."

 

Led to a Loose Vastness . . .

 

            Astray - please, please!

            (Slave kindles the cigarette to C's nipple. She swoons.)

            Still Off: Not ashtray! (Doubts sent to abuse true lovers.)

 

            Blind/blindfolded --erred--

            bound Nurse Beth, then dipped her low

            (pure-bottomed with shackles)

            (in far and up wet)

 

(still sung): (deeper - Yes.) When lust is high

            all pits are equal.

 

 

You-know-who's back, but in a deep freeze:

Sheila: Catch me if you dare!

 

 

Johnny slashes her with his blade a second time.

Lust -- tinctured in a jar -- drips

 

 

to a slight gravity point

tangential and short-sighted

its attribute: distraction.

 

 

A profile clock, in random obedience

 

 

-- that glutinous embrace --

-- Ugly, when she thinks --

 

 

Out buying up eternities.

 

 

 

The Swamp -- where a frog tweaks

her own, and Klink's complexion gets worse

until he falls dumbly in love with that look

 

fed on recalcitrance

 

the landscape named "Poisonous"

 

preventative, gurgles, horizon

 

 

AND SO, a complete anesthetic inscribed.

Was it reciprocal?

In cleansed blandness, maybe.

Slave: (Disassembles, then woofs down some (numerous) shavings.

Knocked out, in formaldehyde.)

            PAY DAY!

Klink, revealed in a GLISTENING SHEATH

not a drop of shame -- resplendent, throned

in a liberty parable

or in electric anguish

Sings: Slip and fall, hobble, PLEAD. (Repeat.)

 


 

Now IDLE HOPES in the ABSENTED Woods:

 

 

 

Her dainty bottoms scroll

(a rose) (perfume scatters)

Swelling, Delicate

in kissing contested:

 

Left her head right in his fist

(no brains drip, no blood),

and the body's just plum gone!

 

 

 

CLASSIC LUSTER

 

Get it right now:

Her head slips off. He's stumped,

amazed holding the neck.
