                Posted - 07/12/2004 : 13:56:12  in the zoo, our protagonist eats 
  farts, sweats and dreams crack 
  savoring each white morsel 
  a modern man's turkish delight. 
  eying the fat wallets 
  in the rear pockets of fat asses 
  who lead fat crying children 
  to see the seals 
  artichoke head, angry dreads 
  lift like antennae at the passage of nose candy 
  the sex mad apes mount each other 
  he sniffs at the whiteness of a polar bear 
  angry crying children in the reptile house 
  a wide eyed norman rockwell babe 
  watches a lower ranking male chimp get no pussy 
  whipped, he sulks on the tire swing 
  surfer kids on forced time with absent parents 
  ask the artichoke man 
  "dude, you got any weeeed?" 
  get no response 
  his sensors are open to only one transaction 
  his internal radio set to one white frequency 
  ding-a-ling, 
  bell on a zebraskin trolley 
  and the good humor man on a golf cart 
  comes bearing fish for the bear in ice 
  and fruit for the apes 
  and snow for artichoke head 
  gun lovers empty knowing 
  of the criminality of our exhibit 
  learn nothing, dream of bearskin rugs 
  monkey paw paperweights 
  and willing pack bearers in tropical climes 
  see themselves in khaki, in a howdah 
  as the elephants brood against a plasterboard background 
  and artichoke head avails himself of the payphone 
  mext to the machine which makes waxen animals 
  I call a spade a spade 
  says the man in the hat that says 
  god guts and glory made america great 
  artichoke practices his three card monty 
  on a bench shaped like a plastic smiling tiger 
  clubs, aces whirl around the queen 
  now you see it, now you don't 
  low-ball walks like a cat 
  a forty in a wrinkled paper bag 
  sings along to headphones 
  the rockwell babe feeds ducks bread 
  sinking in the water 
  a midget with a parasol walks by 
  god guts and glory 
  is looking for his useless surfer children, 
  made soft by their mother 
  he thinks of fever 
  quartantine in the war 
  your isolated brain making patterns on bedsheets 
  this fucking heat 
  when the kids are gone, glory goes home alone to 
  turn pages of hemingway and rimbaud and guns and ammo 
  quinine water for you 
  four parts gin, one tonic 
  two blocks up artichoke and lowball 
  cook up an eight ball 
  across an airshaft words are exchanged 
  devils and flies sting glory in his sleep 
  as he dreams of africa 
  lowball and artichoke sell poison to have 
  a dream of suburban life, luxury cars 
  kill babies, in amniotic sea sleeping and 
  artichokes white tide invades them 
  save mumia, glory's kids are spraypainting on his tenement 
  while they wait for their mother to take them back 
  her too white nose even whiter after a trip to see the golfcart driver over a glass of scotch 
  glory is alone, without howdahs or elephant guns 
  the city closes round him like the forest 
  babel of foreign voices 
  women nurse those fierce invalids home from hot climates 
  he thinks walking into the chop suey palace 
  eat chinese ,be polite 
  he never notices lowball pull his gun until it is too late

                Posted - 09/07/2004 : 14:31:19  This one isn't just low,it's disturbing.
  http://web.archive.org/web/20020524235412/http://www.lowbrow.com/
  He knew he had to stop when he bought the Bissell. Cleaning the blood stains out of the upholstery in his car simply got too tiring by hand. The shop vac had always done a fantastic job of removing the hair and tissue, but the blood just seemed to stay no matter what he did. 
 
  He had started around five years ago. Dave was so distraught over Reagan leaving office, that he began to start cruising for whores who looked like Nancy. There was just something about that skinny, distant look that gave him a big stiffy. He reveled in having "Nancy" stuff her thumb up his ass at the point of orgasm, all the while intoning, "Just say no! Just say no!" 
 
 
  After a while, the novelty wore off and Dave was left with only a burning anger towards the life that fate cast him. Much of this had to do with the fact that his favorite Nancy had decided to stop seeing him. He resolved to rectify this situation permanently. 
 
 
  He hatched his plan one night while idly flicking through an old Hustler. There was a photo spread titled Mars Wants Pussy, and at that instant, while stroking his turgid member, it came to him in a blinding flash and a sticky substance: he would kidnap his favorite Nancy, and keep her until he expunged the demons in his head. 
 
 
  He had it all planned out; the hotel room was paid for, the caviar was in the fridge, copies of The National Review were scattered about the night stand. It had taken him several minutes to decide in the store whether he wanted the standard choke chain or the spiked collar that attached to the nipples. He ended up with the choke chain; little did he know that decision would alter his love of life forever. 
 
 
  Dave had been at the hotel since six, and "Nancy" wasn't due until ten. He kept himself amused in his waiting by noting the interesting behavior of the roaches in the room. There was something darkly erotic about how they scuttled about the floor looking for human dregs to feed upon. Curious, he spread some caviar on the carpet, and stepped back to examine the ensuing melee. The smell reminded him of a lukewarm, gummy pussy, and the roaches climbing all over each other to get a lick of the sticky substance began to weave its rhythm into his brain. 
 
 
  As he undressed, he began to wonder what it would feel like to have thousands of tiny probisci snuffling about his body, probing into crevices too small for human touch. Slowly moving back towards the refrigerator, so as not to startle away the hungry insects, he gripped the handle of the door, and for the briefest of instants, contemplated the ramifications of what he was about to do. Basic instincts of desire blotted out any rational thought, and he jerked the door open and lunged for the caviar. 
 
 
  Dave could hardly unscrew the top as the thoughts of what might transpire overcame his reality. Plunging his fingers into the cool, viscous egg gel caused his whole body to shudder, as if someone had prodded him in the solar plexus with a sharp metal poker. He began cautiously; he didn't want to ruin his oncoming orgasm by going too far too fast. Seating himself on the floor near the earlier caviar smear, which oddly looked like some sort of shit trail, he smeared the gooey substance over his toes and feet. Almost immediately, one of the larger cockroaches scampered over and began to investigate the spaces between his toes. 
 
 
  Once the trail was blazed, the cockroaches made a line towards his feet. Shivering from the coolness of the room on his naked body and the exquisite feeling of bugs between his toes, Dave leaned back and reached towards the jar he had set down earlier. Taking a large scoop, he smeared a trail up his leg towards his groin. The roaches by this time were coming out of the woodwork, enticed by the smell of fish egg. They began to crawl up and down his legs, causing Dave's hairs to stand on end. 
 
 
  His penis had begun to grow at an alarming rate. The feeling of hundreds of tiny legs walking up and down his legs was absolutely amazing. He thought he was going to ejaculate from the feeling, but a thought of how to prolong and enhance his coming pleasure helped pull him back from the brink. 
 
 
  Sliding his hand over and grasping the jar, he took another large clump from the jar into his fingers. He rolled it about a bit to warm it up. The feeling of the small balls squishing under his fingertips excited him further. Slowly, he skimmed the surface of his skin with the now melting egg fluid on his fingertips towards his anus. 
 
 
  Shoving the first few fish embryos into this sphincter, Dave almost climaxed. As he worked his finger around in his rectum for a few pleasurable seconds, he could feel the roaches working their magic up his legs towards his magic button. 
 
 
  Inexorably, the large roaches began to approach Dave's bunghole, and as they approached his perineum, his member began to throb. He caught himself by squeezing his prick and ejaculating into his bladder. Stretching out again for the jar of fish feti, and taking a handfull, he wiped a large quantity on his throbbing ManTool (TM someone else) and waited for the inevitable. 
 
 
  Dave didn't have to wait long, and he got lucky. One of the larger roaches approached his ass, and one of the smaller ones crawled up his dick. Now Dave had once had a simultaneous orgasm with a woman, but when that large cockroach penetrated his butt, and the small one burrowed into his urethra, Dave blacked out with an orgasm so powerful, he didn't come around until he heard the knocking at the door. 
 
 
  There were roaches in his ass, roaches in his dick, semen on his belley and he didn't know what to do. It was as if there was some sort of wild beast in his body, controlling him. The knocking at the door became more insistant. Glancing at the clock on the bedside table, he noticed the time, 10:12. 
 
 
  Groggily lurching to his feet, crunching some errant cockroaches into a sticky paste, Dave called out to the door, "Who the fuck is it?!" 
 
 
  "Nancy." Was the reply. 
 
 
 
  Chapter 2 
  Moving towards the door, Dave clawed at the cockroaches that were covering his body. One particular roach had latched onto his nipple and drawn blood. As he brushed against it, he felt the familiar sticky wetness that only blood imparts. As his fingers squeezed and tugged against the roach, he felt the antennae brushing against his fingers, then his nipples, over and over again very quickly. 
 
  They felt like some alien tentacles trying to invade the pores in his body. Dave suddenly felt a revulsion that brought the bile from his bowels to his lips. He tensed his whole body, waiting for the familiar eruption that he imagined felt like a slugs guts as they were being popped out of its skin as a bicycle tire rolls over its body. Then abruptly, as if it suddenly realized the fingers about it were going to snuff out its small existence, the roach went completely limp and let go of Dave's body. 
 
 
  This caused the pressure in Dave to abate, but it left him changed; it was as if the slug inside of him had been distended and re-arranged, but not ejaculated onto the asphalt.

                Posted - 07/12/2004 : 14:51:18  I found this without attribution a long time ago.
  I gaze at the brilliant full moon.  The same one, I think to myself, at which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed.  Suddenly, I imagine they appear beside me.  I tell Socrates about the national debate over one's right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition.  I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and I show him a copy of the Constitution.  I tell Aristotle that we have found many more than four basic elements and I show him a periodic table. I get a box of kitchen matches and strike one.  They gasp with wonder.  We spend the rest of the night lighting farts. |
