Oskar Pastior writes:
Carnal Pleasure (senior) and Carnal Pleasure (junior) are rowing across a lake in a boat. The boat is made of white cottonwool. They are on a firm excursion, because Carnal Pleasure and Carnal Pleasure are in business together. They are rowing for publicity, because Carnal Pleasure and Carnal Pleasure manufacture cottonwool, for various ends. Carnal Pleasure and Carnal Pleasure in a cottonwool boat, it might be a game of clouds played in a mirror, a card game peculiar show more to the Lake of the Four Forests, up and down. Who’ll sting? Carnal Pleasure and Carnal Pleasure are bathed in a rosy hue; that is due to rowing and to the effulgence of the bights they are rowing in. Even the distant glaciers proclaim the firm’s flesh; even the industrious cows, now glazed with lilac, made of deseeded cottonwool, graze on their behoof. Father and son row with Tampax and Q-Tips. They are highly satisfied, it was a great publicity campaign. In the water a light rises up; then something in the sky goes strange.
(Translated from the German by Christopher Middleton.)
