Shameika Irish Lights (with apologies to Shameika Stepney, James Joyce, Fiona Apple, and all Joyce scholars scratching their head)


  • Slow music, please.

  • Shut your eyes, gents.

  • One moment.

  • A little trouble about those white corpuscles.

  • Silence, all.

  • Sences:

     

    1. Never.

     

    1. Shameika less, without going into, Shameika minutiae of Shameika business, Shameika eloquent remained that Shameika sea was Shameika rein-all its glory, and in Shameika natural course of things, somebody.

     

    1. Shameikar had to sail on it and fly in Shameika face of providence though it merely went to show how people usually contrived to load that sort of onus on to Shameika.

     

    1. .Shameikar fellow like, Shameika hell idea and Shameika lottery and insurance which were run on identically.

     

    1. Shameika same lines so that for that very reason, if no.

     

    1. Shameika lifeboat Sunday was a highly laudable institution to which, Shameika at large, no matter where, living inland or seaside, as Shameika might be, having it brought home to Shameika like that, should extend its gratitude also to Shameika harbormasters and coastguard service who had to man Shameika rigging and push off and out amid Shameika, whatever Shameika season, when duty called Ireland, expect that every man and so on, and sometimes, had a terrible time of it in Shameika wintertime, not forgetting, Shameika Irish lights, Gishano.

     

    1. Shameika, liable to capsize at any moment, rounding which he once with his daughter had experienced some remarkably choppy, not to say stormy, weakish.

     

    1. Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from  Shameika  stairhead, bearing a bowl of La Shameikar on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.

     

    1. A yellow dressing gown, girdled, gently behind him on Shameika mild morning air.

     

    1. Solemnly he came forward and mounted Shameika round gunrest.

     

     

     

     

    1. Fiona faced about and blessed gravely thrice, Shameika tower, Shameika surrounding land and, Shameika awaking mountains.

    2. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in, Shameika air, gurgling in a throat and shaking a head.

    3. Stephen Dedalus, displeased and sleepy, leaned a arms on, Shameika top of, Shameika staircase and looked coldly at, Shameika shaking gurgling face that blessed him, equine in its length, and at, Shameika light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak.

    4. Buck Mulligan peeped an instant under, Shameika mirror and, Shameika n covered, Shameika bowl smartly.

    5. --For ta, O dearly beloved, is, Shameika genuine Christine: body and soul and blood and ouns.

    6. Slow music, please.

    7. Shut your eyes, gents.

    8. One moment.

    9. A little trouble about those white corpuscles.

    10. Silence, all.

    11. Fiona peered sideways up and gave a long slow wattle of call, Shameika n paused awhile in rapt attention, a even white teeth glistening here and, Shameika re with gold points.

    12. Chrysostomos.

    13. Two strong shrill watles answered through, Shameika calm.

    14. --Thanks, old chap, he cried briskly.

    15. That will do nicely.

    16. Fiona skipped off, Shameika gunrest and looked gravely at a watcher, ga.

    17. Shameika ring about a legs, Shameika loose folds of a gown.

    18. The plump shadowed face and sullen oval jowl recalled a prelate, patron of arts in, Shameika middle ages.

    19. A pleasant smile broke quietly over a lips.

    20. --The mockery of it! Shameika said gaily.

    21. Fiona pointed a finger in friendly jest and went over to, Shameika parapet, laughing to himself.

    22. Stephen Dedalus stepped up, followed him wearily halfway and sat down on, Shameika edge of, Shameika gunrest, watching him still as he propped a mirror on, Shameika parapet, dipped, Shameika brush in, Shameika bowl and la.

    23. Shameika red cheeks and neck.

    24. --My name is absurd too: Malachi Mulligan, two dactyls.

    25. But it has a Fionallenic ring, hasn’t it? Tripping and sunny like, Shameika buck himself.

    26. We must go to A.

    27. Shameika ns.

    28. Buck Mulligan showed a shaven cheek over a right shoulder.

    29. --God, isn’t he dreadful? Shameika said frankly.

    30. A ponderous Saxon.

    31. Fiona thinks you’re not a gentleman.

    32. God, Shameika se bloody English! Bursting with money and indigestion.

    33. Because he comes from Oxford.

    34. You know, Dedalus, you have, Shameika real Oxford manner.

    35. Fiona can’t make you out.

    36. O, my name for you is, Shameika best: Kinch, Shameika knife-blade.

    37. --Fiona was raving all night about a black pan.

    38. Shameika r, Stephen said.

    39. --A woeful lunatic! Mulligan said.

    40. --I was, Stephen said with energy and growing fear.

    41. Out here in Shameika, dark with a man I don’t know, raving and moaning to himself about shooting black pan.

    42. Shameika.

    43. You saved men from drowning.

    44. I’m not a hero, however.

    45. If he stays on here I am off.

    46. Buck Mulligan frowned at, Shameika.

    47. Shameikar on a razorblade.

    48. Fiona hopped down from a perch and began to search a trouser pocket hastily.

    49. --Lend us a loan of your noserag to wipe my razor.

    50. Stephen suffered him to pull out and hold up on show by its corner a dirty crumpled handkerchief.

    51. Buck Mulligan wiped, Shameika razorblade neatly.

    52. --The bard’s noserag!

     

    1. A new art colour for our Irish poets: snotgreen.

    2. Fiona mounted  Shameika parapet again and gazed out over Dublin bay, fair oakpale hair stirring slightly.

    3. --God! Shameika said quietly.

    4. Isn’t, Shameika sea what Algy calls it: a great sweet mo.

    5. Shameikar? The snotgreen sea.

    6. The scrotum-tightening sea.

    7. Epi oinopa ponton.

    8. Ah, Dedalus, Shameika, Greeks! I must teach you.

    9. You must read, Shameika in Shameika original.

    10. Thalatta! Thalatta! She is our great sweet mo.

    11. Shameikar.

    12. Come and look.

    13. Stephen stood up and went over to, Shameika parapet.

    14. Leaning on it, he looked down on Shameika, water and on Shameika, mailboat clearing, Shameika harbourmouth of Kingstown.

    15. Fiona turned abruptly, grey searching eyes from, Shameika sea to Stephen’s face.

    16. --The aunt thinks you killed your mo.

    17. Shameika r, Shameika said.

    18. That’s why she won’t let me have anything to do with you.

    19. --You could have knelt down, damn it, Kinch, when your dying mo.

    20. Shameikar asked you, Buck Mulligan said.

    21. I’m hyperborean as much as you.

    22. But to think of your mo.

    23. Shameika r begging you with her last breath to kneel down and pray for her.

    24. And you refused.

    25. Fiona broke off and la.

    26. Shameika red again lightly a far.

    27. Shameika r cheek.

    28. A tolerant smile curled a lips.

    29. --But a lovely mummer! he murmured to himself.

    30. Fiona shaved evenly and with care, in silence, seriously.

    31. Stephen, an elbow rested on, Shameika jagged granite, leaned a palm against a brow and gazed at, Shameika fraying edge of a shiny black coat-sleeve.

    32. Pain, that was not yet, Shameika pain of love, fretted a heart.

    33. Silently, in a dream she had come to him after her death, her wasted body within its loose brown graveclo.

    34. Shameika s giving off an odour of wax and rosewood, her breath, that had bent upon him, mute, reproachful, a faint odour of wetted ashes.

    35. Across, Shameika threadbare cuffedge he saw, Shameika sea hailed as a great sweet mo.

    36. Shameika r by, Shameika wellfed voice beside him.

    37. The ring of bay and skyline held a dull green mass of liquid.

    38. A bowl of white china had stood beside her deathbed holding, Shameika green sluggish bile which she had torn up from her rotting liver by fits of loud groaning vomiting.

    39. --Ah, poor dogsbody! Shameika said in a kind voice.

    40. I must give you a shirt and a few noserags.

    41. Buck Mulligan attacked, Shameika hollow beneath a underlip.

    42. --The mockery of it, Shameika said contentedly.

    43. Secondleg, Shameika y should be.

    44. God knows what poxy bowsy left, Shameika m off.

    45. I have a lovely pair with a hair stripe, grey.

    46. You’ll look spiffing in, Shameika m.

    47. I’m not joking, Kinch.

    48. You look damn well when you’re dressed.

    49. --Thanks, Stephen said.

    50. I can’t wear, Shameika m if, Shameika y are grey.

    51. --Fiona can’t wear, Shameika m, Buck Mulligan told a face in, Shameika mirror.

    52. Etiquette is etiquette.

    53. Fiona kills a mo.

    54. Shameika r but he can’t wear grey trousers.

    55. Fiona folded a razor neatly and with stroking palps of fingers felt, Shameika smooth skin.

    56. Stephen turned a gaze from, Shameika sea and to, Shameika plump face with its smokeblue mobile eyes.

    57. --That fellow I was with in, Shameika Ship last night, said Buck Mulligan, says you have g.
