Thaumaturge
thau ma turge (‘thaw meh turj) n, working miracles
…as in the title of Okra’s recently reviewed zine The Thong of the Thaumaturge, or roughly translated from the proper English, the underwear works miracles. Here’s a brief (pun intended) excerpt:
“A miner had sex with a canary and got chirpies. It was untweetable. The Dr. looked at his watch,it winked back and blew smoky number zeros up his asshole. The voice of Marvin Gaye could be heard seeping out of the speakers of a quadilac across the red hills “Oh I twy and I twy and I twy.” lovers hold hands secwetly in wust with each other. The canary was related to a chicken who was a pullet and a scholar, had won a pulletzer for poultry, and lived in a coop in Canarsie. This chick knew to scoop when the poop flew, and she knewed that eggs is a lot older than chickens.” …and so on…
