Well, nnyhav, I’m up to Chapter 27 and getting close to finishing this rather obscene, grotesque little piece of morbid magic realism, thank god.
I really don’t see what’s so great about “The obscene bird of night,” although Luis Buñuel hailed it as "a masterpiece" and by Carlos Fuentes called it "one of the great novels not only of Spanish America, but of our time.”
I suppose so—if you’re a deformity lover. Personally, I’ve had worse blind dates back during my wretched university days. Yawn. ... anyway, there's something very meta going on Tropical hotdog night ... the book is the 'monstrous unrelenting shifty labyrinthine pile', it gets to be the monster tonight. You bad boy, you. Just don't choke on the chicken ... |

 Bad Boy Minotaur
—for Severo Sarduy
The dim light of maze…
The dark eyes of minotaur—
Shadowed with moody rings
The glowing young complexion
Of a young man’s bedroom eyes
The torpor of your siesta—
Here on the island of Crete
Twilight veil of Mediterranean
Your face like Pablo Picasso
You glare & stare & sleep—
Locked into your Labyrinth
Waiting for Ariadne’s boyfriend
To free you from Minotauromachy |

 Medianoche y el Minotauro ha perdido en la ciudad,
rodeando las paredes de neón mismo pasó
en horas de la órbita sin fin
después de la cena con Pablo.
Se acerca a los transeúntes al azar,
Cóctel de multitudes desapasionada
que ofrecen se encoge de hombros de la apatía.
Kong estaba en lo cierto -
una vez que la fuerza
que fuera de la isla para aferrarse al
una virgen probable que hightail
el Empire State -
a las once de la película -
un rostro que nadie olvida.
Los días eran diferentes en el laberinto,
antes de entrar en el laberinto mental
que lo llevó al comercio
la fama por la libertad.
El Minotauro en su mejor momento
bienvenida a la flor de la juventud -
un club de fans dispuestos a pagar cualquier precio
para nada más que
el más mínimo atisbo de gloria. |

Minotauro Bad Boy
Por Severo Sarduy
La tenue luz de laberinto ...
Los ojos oscuros de minotauro-
Sombreado con anillos de mal humor
El cutis joven brillante
Del hombre dormitorio ojos de los jóvenes una
El sopor de la siesta-
Aquí en la isla de Creta
Twilight velo del Mediterráneo
Su cara como Pablo Picasso
Usted resplandor y mirada y el sueño
Encerrado en su laberinto
Lugar para el novio de Ariadna
Para liberarte de Minotauromaquia

 Delta Denouement
—for Severo Sarduy
The delta dominated wetness—
The humid New Orleans temple
Between the Mississippi River
And the huge Gulf of Mexico
Fragments of French, Creole—
Negro Apollo torsos & broad hands
Vieux Carre boyfriends washed
Away by Katrina & British Petroleum
Delta boyz buried in crude oil—
Nobody comes to the rescue
Big Oil plays on their weekend yachts
While the Gulf Minotaur god dies |

Magic Realism Muse
—for Severo Sarduy
Voices preceded by echoes…
Your voice came later on—
Echoes preceding you voraciously
Oozing like quicksilver outta
Your broken thermometer stem
Post-colonial nap time over—
Enveloping us in Latino waves
Bolaño’s flamboyant boyfriends
Knocking at the Arizona door
Sarduy rings the doorbell—
Reinaldo Arenas escapes in drag
Federico García Lorca shot by Franco
Hart Crane jumps off the Orizaba

 Minotaur Maze Lost
—for Severo Sarduy
Not by chance thru the labyrinth—
But rather with Ariadne’s golden thread
Thru the nonsense turns of the maze
Language as a disobedience to Form
Apparently in medias res—
Works best in such a jigsaw puzzle
A torch & a sword was all that
Theseus needed plus the Thread
But mazes can be disconcerting—
Like Genet’s handsome young lover
Stilitano lost in the House of Mirrors
Journal of a Thief badboy boyfriend
Everybody laughing at Stilitano—
Big shot gangster can’t get out
Flails around & then just gives up
Sits on floor while Genet weeps |

 The Canonization of Lady Gaga
—for Severo Sarduy
Most things have little interest—
The only thing I want is bad romance
I want your ugly now, I want your disease
Won’t you gimme gimme, pretty please?
You’re constantly resisting—
Even tho I’m insisting that Rome
Roma, Roma, oh Roma Gaga gimme
Your psycho, whacko, wiener love!!!
I’m praying to the Pope for a miracle—
Miracle whip and greasy salami romance
I want your horror, your criminal designs
I got plans for you baby, you’re gonna cry
Gonna make you my cute martyr boy—
I’m gonna tie you up, throw away the keys
Cause I’m a freak for badboy sick romance
Gonna whip your Jesus freak nice ass!!!
La canonización de Lady Gaga
Por Severo Sarduy
La mayoría de las cosas tienen poco interés
Lo único que quiero es malo romance
Quiero tu fea , yo quiero tu enfermedad
¿No quieres dame, dame , satisface bastante?
Estás en constante resistencia-
Incluso tho que estoy insistiendo en que Roma
Roma, Roma , ¡oh Roma Gaga dame
Su psycho, whacko , el amor salchicha !
Estoy rezando al Papa un milagro -
Miracle Whip y el romance salami grasiento
Quiero tu horror , sus diseños penal
Tengo planes para ti nena , vas a llorar
Te voy a hacer mi lindo niño-mártir -
Te voy a atar , tirar las llaves
Porque yo soy un bicho raro para el romance enfermo badboy
Voy a sacar la fanático de Jesús buen culo!
