Pinky the fairy is a small giant, 
raising newts in her ears.
She lives in Fountain named by Duchamp.
In the corner of the memory warehouse.
Ground floor of Invective Laboratory.
Where the ceiling lights are broken.

Dr. Murmur, the director of the laboratory.
Suffering from passion withdrawal, 
he hums in the cracked mirror 
fascinated by the neurons
firing the rhythmic signals.

Pinky the fairy is soaking wet.
Even with her waterproof raincoat on.
Music program comes from the ventilation fan.
The muffled intro can be heard repeatedly.
Try to drift through the drainage.
Flow into the estuary.
Alone in the Pacific.
