The not quite Communist Manifesto of Lord's Rendezvous
Dear Kin,
In early June 1971 I was sitting on the bank
of the Mekong delta, smoking a menthol and examing the back of
a whore, playing connect the dots with her bodies imperfections.
Upon connecting the dots I spelled D-A-D-A (or
Dada). I took it as a sign from Poseidon, Achilles, whomever
and investigated the term, for at that moment in my life I did
not have the education I have now.
Educating myself from a text found in an abandoned
library outside a small town in the vicinity and using an interpreter.
I didn't speak Vietnamese, and my interpretter didn't speak English
but did speak Yiddish, a common language for us both.
I found that DADA
was my obedience, is my confusion.
I say Kin because if you choose to embark on
this journey we will truly become brothers and sisters armed with
aggregious flattulence against those against those that do not
oppress us, but serve us.
A blood oath we take, the same syphilis
we have.
Signed,
Dear reader and fellow revolutionary,
To say that our embarkment upon the Dada-esque,
politically charged epic
novel that is Lord's
Rendezvous was because "revolution was in the air"
might be a slight overstatement....more than likely, it was because
we were hopped up on a near lethal combination of Pop Rocks, Diet
Coca-Cola, and the Flaming
Lips. But reasons aside, this makes our mission no less important,
our ambition no less grand, and our revolutionary document no
less genius.
Some might dismiss our text as just a raffish
attempt to bowdlerize history with a few well placed exotic venereal
disease jokes. Quite frankly, these people make a valid point.
But is it not possible that Alexander the Great had herpes? Or
that Cesear had "the clap"? Or that Stalin had Peruvian
Syphilis? Or that Saddam Hussein has Cuban
Rot? And that these very venereal
diseases where at the root of every political revolution that
our world has seen......
So be fair, and ask yourself the question, is
Lord's Rendezvous crazy?.......Or is it so sane that it blows
your mind?
Go forth, and let Dada
be your mistress.
Signed,
