o
The Bride and the First Group of Bachelors
or The Frigid Rejection
o
[Bruid]
o

Not because

they are hallucinated

by the litanies of their

own Chariot only
o

Not because

the Metal of their Chariot

is not emancipated
o

Not because

they themselves no longer grind

their own Chocolate
o

But because

their Uniforms have been filled with air

rather then with light

so that

their matter has grown too heavy

to rise through the Malic Molds and Capillary Tubes,

and go from there to the world of the Oculist Witness

who would submit them to the EyeTest

to determine whether

their substance is sufficiently fine

to transsubstantiate in a Glance or a Glimpse,

as they learn to see

the inscriptions of the Bride

and read them With their Eyes

and thereby accept the Stripping of the Bride

metaphorically and not literally
o

Because the Eye Test

- that ultimate test of Courtesy -

will never be performed by them
o

the Bride snaps the electrical wires

and rejects all further passes!
