JENNER ALONE

Herod Antipater greets talking head of Simon Erect, a very minor painting by an adept of the Umbrian School, smewhere Toscana nr middle Zeit. Simonus banished from the group known as Zealots travelled to Rome with the unguent bowl used to wash the feet of the Pretender Messiah, Moses Magonides. It became a sacred artifact, along with the scythe Moses used to cut his beard and pubic hair off with before his crucifixion (he's known to have stolen away from his cross, married a baker called Marzipanus Orangeboom: sired little nickel plates and a whole batch of led pencils.). Meanwhile Simonus' very modern relative is found, a scribe in fishing village Brighthelm, found only with the Holy Gourd and aforesaid painting. Also his pome 'Aloof, Alone, yet furrowed orifice/hangs from my groove/belittling these offices/burrowing into my fetid footstool. This masterwork, winner of the Brighthelm annual Ditty Award, placed into 3.15 at Epsom Downs, yet another winner and a good one at 3 to 1. Herod Antipater relinquished the ballless marble lion, sent it crashing to the floor. Later he regretted destroying the artefact (but more fact than art), deciding to set the portrait of Simonus in its place. He gazed up at the Duomo and back at the marketplace, noticed the artist Giotto wading through the usual interminable shit that covered everything. Simon fell out of bed, as if in sympathy with his progenitor, upset the coffee cup and the wall-less shelf. About a thousand CDs crashed to the floor with a massive crash. Lots of plastic shards hit Simon just as he crawled from out his pit to make an arrangement of rubber tubing. For a moment he supposed himself to be about 14 and back in the chemistry lab.
