Sills, Steven (Steven David Justin)

"Corpus of a Siam Mosquito"

Indeed, it
was obscene enough to make a man become a monk: orgasmic organisms,
sensation of void.



Chapter 13




The glue-induced waves of befuddlement came to him curled like
talons and this twisted and grotesque inundation beat his shore pulling
and pushing bits of himself fervently in all directions. It was as his
father had told him often: he did not know if he was coming or going.
He was both becoming more conscious of himself and his environment and
yet more despondent with strange thoughts fulminating out of his living
carcass, controlling him. He was moving toward reality and yet
diverging from it. He believed that he was downtown with Noppawan and
that they were wasting some time before the meeting with this former
avuncular image. They were walking through a mall and he was thinking
how long ago in boyhood he and his brothers had entertained the thought
of this man really being family to ease the pain of routine
constricting them in noodles. In the hallucination they left the mall
and went into an adjacent 80-story building and then took a high-speed
elevator to the top of that skyscraper.
