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

How her grip weakens
How her grip weakens Dad's legs . . .

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.
