Lip nursers

Lip nursers slurp resins, but spurn pliers. Lip nursers ripen slurs when it would be better to lisp reruns. Lip nursers, despite the perils of urns, spin rulers and runes and pirl bottles of Urpilsner.

Ludict

As for this word to make a story out of, it would perhaps be deemed most optimally honest of us if we simply referred U Readers to our collaborator Ludict, « a laboratory », according to its tautoreferential disclaimer, « undertaking divastigations of inosculant convolutions of textwork ».

Er cerce di ore

Er rede reccio
Er rocce di ere
Er dice cor e ré
Er erre códice
Er odie crecer

Intense

“The need for a sacrificial ritual is the more * if the killing must still be legitimized as a proper sacrifice” (M. A. n’Hesterse, Broken worlds: The sacrificial role of crime fiction. Herma Ness: T. S. Heesterman Jr. and Co., 1993, p. 47).

“Remediation in this case focuses on exploiting latent plasticity in those areas with * perceptual retraining, with the goal of restructuring cortical maps from the bottom up (Tallal, Merzenich, et al. 1998; Temple et al. 2003)” (S. Farmer, Neurobiology, stratified texts, and the evolution of thought: From myths to religions and philosophies. Expanded version of a talk given at the Harvard and Peking University International Conference on Comparative Mythology, Beijing, China, 11–13 May 2006, p. 14. Available at www.safarmer.com).

“Though apparently bewildering, a prominent feature of Indian legal literature is the * contempt for the physicians and surgeons” (D. Chattopadhyaya, Science and society in ancient India. Calcutta: Research India Publications, 1977, pp. 212–213).

“As an *, nicotine-stained, Jean-Paul-Sartre sort of man, wasn’t it simple logic to expect that he’d be limited to *, nicotine-stained, Jean-Paul-Sartre sorts of women?” (R. Yates, Revolutionary Road. Boston: Little, Brown and Co., p. 23).

“J’en arrive à penser que l’amour et la mort — engendrer et se défaire, ce qui revient au même — sont pour moi choses si proches que toute idée de joie charnelle ne me touche qu’accompagnée d’une terreur superstitieuse, comme si les gestes de l’amour, en même temps qu’ils amènent ma vie en son point le plus *, ne devaient que me porter malheur” (M. Leiris, L’âge d’homme. Paris: Gallimard, 1939, pp. 28–29).

Así Urné

Así urné rezos sin ritos
Así urné suertes sin retos
Así urné ruinas sin risas
Así urné huertas sin rosas
Así urné nieblas sin rutas
Así urné nidos sin ratas
Así urné huesos sin rimas
Asé urné señas sin ramas
— Vélasto Prastier
