Melodious
Improbable Highly-Charged Chant

| Witchdoctor chanting in to the building - Bird helps |
ONLOOKER seeing the
Witchdoctor’s bird,
I think the little bird is
telling him
what to chant and he seems
much excited.
Unless he’s looking for
insects?
I think the Witchdoctor’s
small twig-numbers
for the Husbands have
already gone in?
NARRATOR
Those rustic-made numbers
out of branches
have been put in
to go forth internationally -
high on his melodious,
improbable,
highly-charged chant,
which carries over oceans
to the real building
and inhabits the Husbands’
numbers there
by incantatory magic.
I’ve spoken about this
before
but I say it again because
it’s so unbelievable.
And here is an explanation
for it:
the branchy numbers are
soaked in something:
a churlish and devily brine
that’s meant to be sore on
birds
or even on big flies,
so that long distances can
be covered,
in the way that he says they
can -
by a flying spoken-word
code.
ONLOOKER
But, first, he must stick
the branched-off numbers
inside the fetish-made
Husbands’ office building.
NARRATOR
Yes, into an office space,
full of mud,
correlating to the one that
they do occupy
half-way around the world.
He has arranged it that
his heavily consecrated
building model
will become as simple,
complex and powerful
as all the batteries, radio
receivers,
transistor-made computer
switches
and communications devices
made in our modern world
available today.
He is as precise, direct and
willful
using
his thoughts
as all those devices could
possibly be.
ONLOOKER
And he has set his primitive
target upon
the numbers that are
peaceful but inactive
on paper in the Husbands’
office room.
And he will animate them -
jerk them into song -
by using voodoo-doll-like
means.
NARRATOR
I haven’t really explored
this phenomena, myself,
experientially; or become
familiar with it academically;
though I know it comes from
Haiti or Africa.
However, this is what the
Witchdoctor might say, himself,
about envisioning the
Husbands’ numbers
most large off of the
page...
WITCHDOCTOR
I’m borrowing a building in
space and time.
It is, in its nature,
removed
from its former premises;
and I am mind-altering it
in part, on a certain part:
the Husbands’ office.
It’s like looking into a
library which I’ve never seen
and borrowing those books
which I don’t understand.
I’ve got the Husbands’ work
numbers here
to illuminate and project,
most large,
off of their work papers.
And then, I’ll implode upon
them;
and switch their essences
by my woodsy oil
and twisting and entwining branches
until they turn blue!
Suddenly, my sad, lovely,
willow branches
will wrap their shining arms
and limbs
around the Husbands’
unsuspecting sums
and remove them deliberately
off the page
out into the open!
from beneath the stale, old
books unstuck!
Out the door or window!
They’ll be like actors
with smiles getting up on
the stage
to do their
little dance entrance.
(He visualizes the
numbers in the Two Husbands’ office)
En-trance! En- trance,
twice-fold,
the two shock-absorbing
Husbands
who have never danced with
numbers!
