this is a windfall for you, Biblical daughter -
a personal plea for BROWN MERCURY, for
America & scroll provided by BROWN MERCURY
my personal plea to you, Biblical daughter, was met
with not compliance, nor outright refusals, but with
your anecdote of a Korean map-maker who omitted
America from his world cartograph -- the map-maker
did admit meeting French sailors who claimed to have
seen America -- they found an endless wilderness, lifeless
save for the cries of patriots in the far distance
I had ten dollars, & gave eight for Mystery, Biblical, & Curse books:
"Alcoholic Murders" "The Golden" "The Warning Falcon" "Cuentos"
"Alice's Psychology" "The Quotation Rubber" "Major Liaisons of the
Disguised Man" "Further Poems of a Millionairess" "Virginia Triggers"
plea between sneezes - I got the iron thomas bug - $2 plea hearings
the above line I discovered in the flyleaf of "Virginia Triggers",
written
(the book, though possibly also the note) by Kallalisumeno - my own
note, penciled beneath, after reading the book, is
the scrolls are the skies - the lyres are brown mercury's americas
iron thomas bug was
Kallalisumeno's undoing
brown mercury bug
is my own undoing
Kallalisumeno, Kallalisumeno, Kallalisumeno,
ME & YOU have traded within your name,
Kallalisumeno, Kallalisumeno, Kallalisumeno,
now I've a name as long as all your thoughts --
Proteus? countless no longer, Virginia always
