    Zappiti Snappy !
    To Wout Vercammen


    Here it is: One shameless and Q&A-free, C&A-free melody. Dedicated to the Last Samurai, whose name is Nobody’s Fool. Straight up… Schlag… No Flim Flam. Real Shabaritch. One Sweep. (One Bullet) How to pull a flower from a piece of wood? How to be an Adept of No Thing and Still Be? Hokusai! Spit Prints. One Sweep. Latex Salt Sea Green (Apple Blue Sea Green). The arrival of Latex. Polyurethane Foam. Squeeking Meringue. M.I.B. Diamanto Nero. Carrara-stamp. Steep as a cathedral. Eternal evolution. The path. Equilibrium. Head-stand. Moutarde de Kandinsky. Ça existe. Pneumatic forms. Sealed Black and White. Straight from the kitchen. Sky Blue Garbage Bags. Taped into 1 Big Cloud. Viva Darwin! Painting the Copper Dome of the Carolus Borromeus Church. Hey Jack! Sweet Shit on my Dick. Clinical Observations might blossom into a new Skyline. Mountain High and River deep. Rustig RUSTIG. Strong wind, said the blind man. Tack tack tack. Flat as flat can be. Mmm. It sticks (it tastes). Canabinoid. Paranormalco with a good drink. Kangistan! Zappiti Snappy. Tangawham! Tsk tsk ts’oo… Djung, Flash, Woe-Wei, Zong & Dzoem. Lost my socks, but all is well on this front. Amai ni. (Candy, Randy & Andy).
