Despatches


Chaste women slide through the sobbing vomit rivers of west central Africa. The virgin watches them and smiles through a perfectly blown glass tube placed inside a water filled glass globe. Their robed knees sink into mud like the eager penises of faecal rapists.

One nun lights a cigarette and mumbles “fucking savages”, another nun takes two Vicodin pills and says “safari”.

All seven of the nuns sit cross legged in a circle and frown at each other with looks of severe discontent and facial distortions which whisper “fuck the Church”. One nun smiles. A line of naked African men emerge from between the tropical greenery behind them and the nuns rise.

“Huzza Huzza” one African man says.

The nuns look at each other. One African man winks.

“Huzza Huzza” say the African men.
