"Two Lesbian Agents with glazed faces of grafted penis flesh sat sipping spinal fluid through alabaster straws."

"Wonders amaze me. They can aim wanderlessly in any forest, be it of dark trees or lighted bushes. And apparently, as per what I've heard, they can buy stuff that's on sale, but only if and when they feel wonderfully wonderful. Because otherwise they wouldn't really be themselves, which would be a problem for them, because if they aren't what they are - they can't exist, and if they don't exist " that makes them invisible and silent to all the wandering people, who may or may not be looking for them to sell themselves to."

This enormous belly turned upward, bleeding, inflated-bloated with all its dead paws, this belly floating in this car, in this grey sky, is not a seat. It could just as well be a dead donkey tossed about in the water, floating with the current, belly in the air in a great grey river, a river of floods; and I could be sitting on the donkey's belly, my feet dangling in the clear water."

"There is a desert on the moon where the dreamer sinks so deeply into the ground that she reaches hell."
