Poem of Any Virgin ~
The generations of the virgin are tattooed on her unblemished belly,
for the virgin represents all that is to be.
Rainbows are tattooed on her hands, Towers of Babel on her arms.
The virgin's body is tattooed by God because she is the source of the
world to be.
There is not a particle of her body without designs and future plans.
Not a pore is without tattooing: that is why the virgin is so beautiful.
Come, let us read the virgin, let us learn the future: note that the
tattooings are not
mere adornments, O men of little sight. See, there are tattooings
within
tattooings, there are generations issuing from generations.
Who tattooed the virgin? It was God on the day of the Fall.
See the serpent tattooed on her. See the angel tattooed on her.
See the
Cross tattooed on her. Look, gentlemen, there
is nothing to pay, This
is the supreme spectacle, gentlemen. I will
explain the mysteries, the
symbolical letters even to omega. Come and
see the marvelous work
etched on the virgin's body: the history of the
world, the inhabited
stratosphere, the magician Tim-Ka-Lu taking a journey
in the moon.
For the virgin is marvelous and contains everything.
Come, gentlemen,
there is nothing to pay. The image of innocence,
of lust, of crime, of
goodness, all these incredible pictures are on the
virgin's back, on her
neck, on her face. Disorders are about to
issue from the tattooings. The
moment is extremely grave, gentlemen. Great
revolts are in the making.
There is a sea tattooed on the virgin, with the
seven days of creation,
with the flood, with death. Come, gentlemen,
there is no admission
to pay.
Gentlemen, today there is a spectacle on Earth.
Come and see the virgin, the tattooed virgin, the virgin tattooed by
God.
She is naked and at the same time clothed with tattooings.
Gentlemen, the virgin is going to be on show for ages.
There are prognostications in the tattooings, there are poems, there
are
mysteries.
That is why the show is pretty. That is why the virgin attracts
you.
Come, gentlemen!
