In 1998, net searches for AF only yielded my own essay.
Now yahoo has groups for AF, AC, and I hear, autosodomy.
Like Joyce's silverback gorilla, streets IS autosodomy.
Before I translate terms, let me give you some context.
The AFer starting supine, rolls up to a plough position.
This is the transit of the 'sun', testes?, from ancient
standard east, to west, where they descend into the sea.
See a maple tree en bas plunged in _Loon Upon the Lake_.
In this position observe the moon, buttocks, and a star,
anus. The poets favor bird for overhead penis, but I'll
take it here as a cloud. See Islam's moon and star here.
See the stavros, pole; at Golgatha, place of the skull.
See magic sword Excalibre locked in the calcinated rock.
In what texts can I discern referents of AS and A-rim?
- The Joyce silverback gorilla item posted here before.
- Blake, amongst the fungi beneath (inverted) oak roots.
- Rev 1:10: ... and heard behind me a great voice, ...
- Rev 14:14: upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man,
- "Will Frodo cast the ring (AF) into the crack of doom?"
What Pynchon has described much here is AF following AS:
GR pg 692 _streets_
Strips of insulation
[insulation is penis, for surrounding wire/electricity/lightning]
hang up
[penis hangs from above in the standard Atlas AF position]
in the morning fog,
[fog by extension from cloud, a standard biblical AF metaphor
isomorphic with referent due to wet + high + MEGA==reflexive]
after a night of moon brightening and darkening as if by itself,
[reflexive act encompasses both acts, like opening and closing]
because the blowing
[blow, slang for fellate, and standard biblical AF metaphor of
pneuma, breath, anima, air in motion, wind; is located in sky.]
fog was so smooth,
[?]
so hard to see.
[Erect? Or Hard to see: the self-moved is entirely internal;
Or as the anal conjunction is past the horizon to the East]
Now, when the wind blows,
[AF, or AS?]
yellow
[tainted by AS, like the black oozing in Baudelaire's Carrion?]
sparks
[semen]
will spill
[ejaculate]
away
[from the face, toward or into the anus]
with a rattlesnake buzz
[carried behind him; buzz, thunder, trumpets: degradations of word]
from the black old fraying wires,
[testes?]
against a sky
[as above]
gray as a hat.
[gray because fog/cloud merged with, eclipses light of star/anus]
Green glass insulators go cloudy and blind in the day.
[Recalls pale=green=unripe=virginal horse at Rev seal 4: 1st AF;
blind suggests a hole unlike normal mouth=hole=opthalmos=eye]
Wood poles lean
[deficient orientation: toward anus]
and smell
[visual trope of nose?]
old:
[anus as end: A-rim = "to speak the end from the beginning"]
thirty-year-old wood.
[I suggest, his age at act; As 19 in MMIV marks mother/AF.]
Tarry
[consistency of feces]
transformers
[recalls my initial theories of bodily orifices as i/o ports
of transformation functions, like FFT, or coax-twinax, etc.]
hum
[like buzz, non-oral sound, degradation of word]
aloft.
[as Atlas' anus is]
As if it will really be a busy day.
