The man stood against the wall in a manner not to be noticed by the active
throng that passed by him. His brow is bent, exposing his chagrined demeanor to those passing by.

His eyes twitter back and forth, in search of one particular fleeting face among many. Though he is a baggage handler, he make no move to help any of the bumbling adults dragging children and baggage across the platform.

His interest this night is in his second profession, his real passion. On the side he is a renegade butcher that sells all types of meat. He likes to use rabbit and possum, in particular. The city folk always think it is beef. Dumb hive people.

A harried young women in jogging bottoms and a pink tank top catches his attention. She is rushing toward the station exit with two leashes in her hand. They are connected to twin pre-pubescent boys dressed in matching railroad overalls. They are shrieking like starving animals. She ignores their cries and continues to haul them away.

The baggage handler, now a salesman, moves toward her with a firm resolve.
"Ma'am, wouldn't you be interested in some succulent shank?"

His future customers inevitably stop and splutter. This girl was different, though. She did stop, but she fixes him with such an ice-filled stare that he almost thinks to pause and look down. But he does not. He returns her gaze as she put her arms around her struggling brood.

"I have all kinds of cuts. Do you like tripe?"

She sniffs his boozy breath and notices his long, unkept beard. She turns around and continues her exit on the now clearing station platform.

Stars - you knew the words like venom and goat,
sharp industries built into the meal, gross fowl underfoot,
bailing sardine carcass and welcome back Kotter

Ponzi demographic with the airtight pump gun,
vibrating soul dong in the Costanza night - pumping,
pumping blood through the artifice bench

flushing sad panthers
up stairs to the open air decks,
lazily with dancers and arbitrary morning light

hello, is it meal command, it operates figured -
rimsy purple glo

haloed mystics with cardboard ads,
beckoning pilots for spores, choking on
the bones of a New York tortilla,
spelling out the rhythms of Nyambinghi
with eyebrow continency and verbal penetration



biscuit dealers grifting down on the asphalt terrace,
crashing Shaker gigs under candle light and rotting vas deferens (many) -
dachsund smile in cloud sculptures pass over the alpine yew,
in the street fair dusk already hammered, angered over the
impact of Pentax Jews

"It's pussy juice Friday on K-F-R-Y!!"

scarab hotels
and
vacant beaches
over
the Blue Hole,
reign

rabbit entrails under 18 choking on tequila,
generating Simple diagrammatic purple lenses
for the Children who spy on them like voyeurs with curfews -
spindly nymphomaniac resonation in the 7th house of concrete

Mars has an orbit of 22 months around the Sun. Every once in a while, it goes "retrograde" or backwards (seemingly) in motion as it passes Earth, which has a shorter orbit. This usually happens once every 22 months. It is going retrograde on July 29, 2003 through September 27, 2003.

Grace Verte, professional astrologer says: "Some astrologers say its been over 70,000 years since Mars was this close to the Earth. So what's 10,000 years more or less in the grand scheme of things?! Many people are already aware of tiring more easily, and coupled with summer heat and for some, humidity, pollen, and local pollution, it can cause concern unless you go with the flow, and rest a lot and often."

A man's body should be washed by men and a women's by women, but a child's body may be washed by either sex. A husband can wash his wife's body and vice-versa if the need arises.
Only one person is needed for washing with someone to help and preferably those people who know the deceased.
Place the body on a high place, e.g., a table or something similar.
Remove the deceased's clothes (garments) leaving the private parts covered.
Press the stomach gently and clean whatever comes out.
For washing, use a piece of cloth or your hands.
Only clean water may be used; add some scented oils (nonalcoholic) in the final wash. It is preferable to use warm water.
Perform ablution (wudu) for the body, cleaning the teeth and nose from outside only.
Wash three times, but if the body needs more cleaning, continue washing five or seven times, but in it must be odd numbers.
