Do you enjoy poetry? Then inXanadu
is the perfect book for you!
In New York, Jubere jumped ship.
Now in Canada, he jumps off
a moving train, with the black
train conductor lover in tow. He
then proceeds to dice with death
by tumbling free fall down Niagara
Falls in a barrel. He nicks
death by a narrow margin. Our
hero practices bipolar sexuality and loves
physical deformities in women. Female Quasimodos
are more loved by Jubere then
anyone else. He, like all
blue-bearded young men, is fascinated with
a "child virgin". The mother pimps
for the flesh trade unrelentlessly. The
tables are turned on Jubere and
conductor-preacher Brown, when gays accost them
for ass coitus. A tribute to
retribution for sex misdeeds. The adapted
mudskipper draws up his own Manisfesto,
the ten commandments of self-serving metropolitan
living. Many mythical stereotypes are explored;
even the doctor that molests patients.
When Jubere exhausted all venues of
indecent living in Canada, he travels
to Detroit, whence the story continues.
