My Egyptian Grammar
The Fiery Furnaces

I never thought it could have happened to me.nBut on the morning of my eldest daughter'snSecond wedding, I blacked out.nThey said it was just stress, but I didn't think so:nnI couldn't remember the 15 minutes before.nA white-haired half Samoan girl from DarwinnGave me a ride, it seems; she let me the car in.nBut what it was she said, I couldn't say.nnNow, that clearly didn't happen. I consulted my Egyptian Grammar.nOn p. 333 was the hieroglyph for motorcycle helmet.nnI combined this with a leather-back's shell as I felt I was instructed.nI Xeroxed it and posted it down by the bike lock-ups at the Oriental Institute.nMaybe a nether-world entity would see it and pass it on to those responsible.nThat kind of thing must happen sometimes.nnNow that clearly didn't happen. I consulted by Egyptian Grammar.nOn p. 428 was the hieroglyph for French Canal boat.nnI met on the Midway someone channeling up a whatever it wasn't:nThere are 17 sections of cymbals in the orchestra of the oversold, it said.nYour youth is lost and doesn't it now seemnYou can't make smoke--only steam?nnNow that clearly didn't happen. I consulted my Egyptian Grammar.nOn p. 566 was the hieroglyph for a blue jay.
