I was talking to myself the other day, and I’d like to share with you something genius that I said about Gary J. Shipley’s The Cobra Drank the Pupils from Our Eyes: “An endless procession of phrasal spectres opens up to a mezzanine of Satanic sofas. ‘No peace outside the song,’ says Gary. The unquestionable subtitle of the thing before you is The Merciless Boutique of Purgation, or The Shadow’s Blue Adventure, or Fucking in Place of a Lightning Rod. Perhaps The Baboon’s New Testament? All human behaviour is violent; every feeling, a sickness. Gary J. Shipley force feeds the sun our little desperations. Wait. Scene: Gary J. Shipley eats all the sunlight. The empathic sands of dreamsleep resign themselves to a labour camp beyond the legal limits of a thousand ectopic smiles, subducted from incognito barbarity. Can you imagine how green the stars were, hidden in the preconscious truth of comatose mammals? Now it’s all ‘medicinal remnants with antlers,’ ‘the brain damage of staying awake,’ and ‘missile silos sprouting on the moon.’ The bloodlust herein requires the sheen from a few slick coats of what no one’s ever desecrated, if possible. ‘The only thing motivating me is the madness of that which will not be written,’ says Gary. End scene.” Pretty good, right?
