Ten Additional Views of Mt. Fuji


When Hokusai sketches his thirty-six and his ten additional views of Mount Fuji, they all turn out to be different. - Michel Butor

1.    Never been there but
       seen the teeshirt.
2.    Ee, sorry, thought you meant
       Fiji – I broke out the
       pineapple already.
3.    Now mount your Fujirama
       on the rocky
       table, avoid gull-
       shit plastering your
       teeshirt. Faint.
4.    Dolor', vergogna, 'n all
       the gestures of grand
       ol' opry. Big, innit?
5.    How do I love thee,
       let me cross thy ways.
       Though, where's the
       shadow of widow Twankey?
       Blow your big nose!
6.    Oh! Oh!
       We've a circle round it twice.
7.    ''It is not surprising that
       the nearly perfectly shaped
       volcano has been worshipped
       as a sacred mountain
       and experienced big popularity
       among artists and common people.''
8.    Shipping from the authentic source.
       Early breakfast recommended.
9.    Just a song at twilight
       when clouds block the view —
       les merveilleux nuages,
       giving rain & shade
       to scorched earth diplomacy.
10.  All hail the Hoccaido!
       And now the yamauba (or yamamba)
       will eat you.
       Fellware!

entirely undemanding•it is a pea

distributed selfplexes in large:
never thought the bitterness would be this way
networks of machines are also possible•
