Fried Minnows
VAIRONS FRITS
Catch some minnows with bottles when they come out
of a pure water stream or a fast-flowing river; press the
bellies between the thumb and index finger, and empty them
through the anus in one operation.
Wash them and dry them in a napkin.
Soak them in milk, roll them in flour and throw them into
a fry of boiling oil.
Salt; pepper with white pepper or paprika, or red cayenne
pepper; bless them with the juice of a lemon.
Lay the minnows on a dish wreathed with garden cress and
serve very hot.
HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC

The earth cycles are our masters
The Gods have left
A new Order has emerged
Order !
Yes
Democracies !
Technology !
millions of billions
billions of millions
of tins !
I remember
war
the stench
the stench of death and canned beans
with sausage and curry
had the same sweet smell —
New ecological order
will give us a different source
of food energetics
but with inevitable
Right and Left !
Right
Rainbow trout
wrapped in clouds
waiting for a storm to be cooked —
Left
Mackerel on trousers
Instructions :
The mackerel should be thrown
on a pair of trousers on the pavement
and then wait for seven days —
the time God took creating the Earth —
and then
served quickly.
