Carlo Parcelli - Wakey! Wakey! #6


Carlo Parcelli studied for many years with the Joyce/Wake scholar, Dr. Rudd Fleming, who translated Greek drama with Ezra Pound while Pound was incarcerated at St. Elizabeth’s hospital here in Washington DC. He has published two books in the style of Pound’s Cantos, ‘Three Antiphonies’ and ‘Fernparallelismus’. I have also published a series of 88 monologues, ‘The Gospel According to Simon Kananaios’ based on David Jones’ monologues of a Roman principalis in his volume ‘The Sleeping Lord’. I have a forthcoming epic poem about a fictitious First Century Roman cynic philosopher called ‘Canus Ictus in Exilium’ (Dog Bite in Exile).  My work, generally excerpted, has appeared in a number of journals and I have performed my work, especially ‘The Gospel’, at dozens of venues. I am currently an editor at FlashPoint magazine <http://www.flashpointmag.com/>, an online journal largely devoted to high-Modernist poetics.

wakey!wakey!

(after  ‘Jaysus’ James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake)                                                       


O Ma Dammerung,  pluerile Anna Laffia
      In fleck of light a parsing funcy
           Drainx a gobblup a drams wif the stout Mr. Chumpty,
And not ta fun shun there be a bit a Frau licking
            By the frog lurking Herr between her Frare loins
                And it baget a right jhoice hose, Anna.
The Sighckle a Life, the Moor the Manny and the Pluerale.
        And the agin’ stat a flow Erin’s death
            Not yet literallalliezed but sunmirazed
        In prick a light that match the mucharoom.
The warvle is cumpartical with the nardle,
       And so Chumpty’s premate facia
Linguers. longhairs, alonghers. Wan Annon Laughia,
       Pure a bile, herswuite quivereign  shady loianes,
Kapt amonkgst the hallowest a OSSuaries.
      Puer ticklickshn Inay Lovia, runeing  her cherry orchid.
Her own hands through his wavy Haar giggled a bit,
      As again states obswearve her weigh pour chants
                    In a salver garbelet a sweet rut whine,
              Not ta buy the great be and be,
          And a blinket a Light come ta covet a crack in her lid.
And Rosey fingered Dawn,
             And Dawn dawdled Dayzie,
         Wan Annaliffey a wakes,  aroust
             By a cock to moarnin’ swound
          Of darpled drums with drizil on the Ygg in her cuntenance
             But nary a dasign of a sun berm or tainted glosses.
Nighn mounths ago, he bein’ the rouster,
        Humpty Chumpty torched her striumphent triangle
             Tween her harey hosannas.
   This bloody tombe, a caul to arms ta vivasecks Rombe.
          All to wakes what wakens to warn!
          A slave’s pity a basket borne.
          Fate to light that light might scorn
          And poets be a Samson shorn.
          From dawn Romy and Remi be torn
          To proper pisstollas a duelity for loren.
But from Keester ta Bollux,
         Reggie and Ron be as Shem and Shaun,
         But twogether insefferable as ta be part or pawn.
Abit beckintime, but not pillar opposerites like LIffykles and Hearekles,
         Spermed on by the aggeless urge, to sly a goast,
    Shim shammin’ by the light a the muon,
                 Gone fission by cauld fusion’s tort of a mad torque mutter,
            Our heross blanch the milky splash a Hera’s paps.
      The tale goes, so the wag doegs,
            Of the hossipedal born,    
The etunnell twins bare thrue, omfellows
           Meyerd in the bloody umbrelluckall Cord,
What a world a war be the muck a the meyerish
           And mick a sad Cord of a disdrosstful psyclops,
       Speaking Mundrawlin a his ungreatvall, mortil breather Quantun.
As able Cain plowts ta rue his slights ta hemphigher
       And sigher Meyer the Marier. 
Two knavery entailigents comb thru me garblelage
      Sayin’ get reaggie. Ya juzgado go to the whosegow.
          I’ll masque the questions here, Mr. Kray, ya macho freaker.
My dear Ronnie, where was ya on
     October forf, 19firtyfree
When the form a Sheets and Sweets,
        707 Bollocks Onyx was hubbled?
Me personables was in me requim muvver’s hang cups.
       Any whatnesses, Mr. Kray?
Only me bruvver, and a bloody uvver
           In the ol’ alley by and by and
       Out the barn door sole seekin’
Out me Hilly Muvver’s udders.
           What we squeeje frough
       Ta the uromora a rashers, sausages  and kidney pie.
What Ronnie and me be na more Can and Able       
          The unbiblical cord ne’r cut even ere unto
    The slug what rung out in the Bells.
       Nah like them guinea blokes,
             Ronulus and Regimus, Ron and me be as two peas in a pud;
       Not two R’s on a rood. Not a cross word between us.
Certain the occlashunall barney like them Cans Ass bruvvers,
       Oiligeeks Dave and Charlie
             Boxin’ wif the B. what accourt evernight on the playns Bill,
Twin yokels what haps zygot inta feistycuffs but
      At the country club, back hand fratricide be court side
             Wif their Fink Thanks and culparrote allgowith‘ems
And calve or calve nots, ice is the crustian.
                  It be but a black sigh up ta the strut a the wall
        What come between Romuless and Reamus
            Soon as wifout a ladder the latter leapt it
And wails of a the wall we here namore 
           Til Humpsea Dumpsea and the battle a Joracle.
I mean, Ronnie and me bofe relish our pound a flesh,
       Braized preferable, side a gravy,
                 Wif them little roasted potatoes
            If ya don’ mind, luv.
So that Cain cord a bean a green grocer
                For all we give a fuck.
And drain a cut ta the god
        What give the art a choke a good turn.
                It makes me blood boil tinkerin’
   When down the Blind Bugger pub
                After a clean keenin’ a Cornell
                       Ta advance the public weal,
         Them white chappies guffaw
                    And aye, Ronnie, drub queer and daft
               As cloven ta god his judgements be
                    Solomonized by halft.
Ovidian gods be but balloon toys,
                    All air and plastic.
What our clang wiffin’ Bow Bells undjure.
               Zeusological hardons, to ballish out on YourOpa!
       Ta mock Leda swoon and wet can Danae a goldman shower
                              To mount her banck.
Yet, me but a sample thug wif a potable mug,
       A knock off the old block,
               A criminal court a goddess, Frances, mine
       When David tagged me mug before the older Bailey got a shot.
Reg, we at the Billy Club not take ya ta be the sentimental sort.
                So ward ya stash the gear?
       What hear now, Link and Iddy flim-flammed their kin.
Pollcat and Keester, rustlin’ some Arcadian cattle,
       What the farmers’ mommumount be a litter a rubeye and T-born,
         While the latter tuck as a piazza of nicely marbled stairy Gemonian destiny.
Whatour whorld hang from the grizzle of our muvvers nevvers, god bless.
         And god bless Whitty Whiteman’s simplers.
                      His L’Odes of Ass.
                What Reggie go ta the truffle a whippin’ his clusters
Til the sweet bred lad buy and bi-curios 
         Pokin’ about wif his knife fiddlin’ McVitie’s vittles
               Takin’ his 200 pounds a flesh.
 The jungle janglin’s jingle at the jugular
               Drummed our Pollux upon his bollocks.
What Pollux be born by deity and delayity.
        Castor balls be but a hang me down a Tyndari
Mort all at the portal, hopen too infernal poachin’,
        Two hard billed wee raptors
                 Nested on the half-shill a the widow Syl. 
Up til them, god be on Reggie’s side.
         And regaul from Grin’s Fairy Trials, Haensel and Mueller,
Them Buggers In Arms and Podners in Crime,
         How they ossidefied orders from Wretched Helms,
      Of Janysus and the Allgonenuts,
             On the rimor a Jack the Hat, the kantchant meullinner;
       And in the matter a 138 black market watches,
     Stowa in a dusstydorfull bag, 
         Be nearly cord marshelled forit.
                 What be a bit looer than Ronnie and me
         Dodgin’ the Feds, protectin’ the home front
From the evil sort down the Bells.
                For what we done hard time,
          What the OSS blokes and Castor and Pollux done not.
               It regalls the unspared Castor speared,
         Cauled out ta Pollux
                       What gravely untwined laced up Lynceus,
       Who mind ya Pollux boxed the arears off a King Amycus.
       But Reggie down the Earl’s Court bested Bobby Manito,
Wif a Earl or that sort bein’ a bit rare down the Bows
              But for the lisigneage and a sea a mare nada sourze.
And could ya spare the garlic, dreary.
        Every ovver Wednesday me auntie’s got hot water.
              So’s me bollocks don’t need a pungi purge.
         As Shem and Shaun be lepercons for James and John,
             What Jaysus brew a Yack Off and a Yo Cannon,
That layabout sun of Fumblin’ Dublin.
      Aaaah, step down from your cross, Jaysus.
             And let not a mear man, who’s sain’t is an auntie-
Papist, take up the snails and prawns.
      See! His seersucker suit suits him, dun’ it now.
A lapsed pescetarian immersed in the unpublessababel a the Liffey,
          Where Hera clit’n tongues garble the crux’s two tribyoutarries,
               Down ta the Rubicorn and defeet.
Their it warble a denile, O Yes. Yes. Yes.
      O jimmy, give it a restitatief. 
The buoyant hoods of looky lacks;
         Not just anuvver pratty boy killer.
                 But high Sosayity.
Blue blood stickyer than water.
        Jimmy a pudlock wearin’ a wedlook.
                 So be high Sacheity
Jesus and Mary sown from the gutter
                 And don’ we admeyer the chamera angleton?
      Washington’s blest are mainly a randy Graham.
The sizzling tear path heir wiggles across the tar mac
             And boards a private jet.
And they buried a precedent in a closed casket.
             The tear path which merry run.
      A corps us of spooks put a Crump in their case
But he be alibi and by wif his oddzbawd, Ruby Lee,
            What lean harvey on the jury
            So everyone knew Roi as Patsy.
And ray as his Dovey of Deliverance.
      So’s it’ll go bitter for ya Ronulus
            Unless ya comes kean.
What happened to Mrs. O’Liary’s mulch cow?
            The one what Zooz schmeckled into Oh! Io 
      Prairory ta the Great Chicago Fairy a 1871.
            Reggie Kray, this be your last chance a voidin’ hard time,
Wif your black magic whatsits and bleack market witches.
            Your taley does not conpute.
Try me testes, Mooney, wif a ‘C’ naught a ‘K’.
       Ron and me be in the numbers game.
            Twined stars, stairy cased
What whirl about gripplin’ one anuvvers vaistcoat
       In the narrow jiggers behind the Blind Bugger
            What spirill it out for yooz ta spell.
Two plain and starry systerns wif our own dock lager and greall cakes. 
      A whorlin’ underwhirled a patriarchers. and finnest monisters
            Firelin their tortpedoes
Ronnie ya say on the day in mention
          Ya be, interrawgutory spicket’n’, quenchin’ your Pigutts
Wif a pint or two a Black Sheep.
          And the bitters mind ya of your betters

Where Rennie and Rog were murdder’s boys,
               What take their blood bath onholy stabbath
        Scome of a creaminal udderworld,
Ol’ man Frauddie be what ol’ testes mint a Chuck and Dave,
        A harnisht bloke wif a test for the hefty heist.
Wif a strap on ta strip the saplings.
             You frack me back and I’ll frack yours.
       Black galled from MITea.
            Fondler a John Butch Sorta Sashighety.
A swiggin’ dick what never dipt a drop
             What spur the rod, spill the child.
          Spuddin’ in four hoyley whelps
                 Mafyou, Mug, Lip and Jawhn.
       His cadavernous hoaryfist
           What only Foch Junior had the god sinds to outgrown,
       Four too many Kochs in the kitchen spoil the broyths.
Sea ya later, litigator. After while bucket of bile.

While the boyz zwang ol’ Fret’s cockles and sheckles
