Mistranslations from the Czech of Milan Kohout
I. Nice-O
Po-faced ramen yeah lazy and svelte.
Jack up a couple Neccos, don’t stretch.
Cuter-est jester, nervy prize-denier,
snide or lick-costly pure.
Yeah, leaps-y milk cat.
Vapid half-sweetheart, taller,
why stave knees? Vague denial.
Ah never pout me out.
Zip museums die to chat.
II. Rose ‘Em Up
Save it, missile.
Do zero-die roses at checkers
coo crazed knee fissures?
Machinated nose,
zoom alley, udders row never who!
Touché, poor slow body yet silence-eyed.
III. Sour Ziti
V-baby,
spatterless nebbish,
pet tissue mortifies choke kisses.
You don’t me trifle, dope hilarity.
Feckless toilet-luster zine,
a nosey kale sets down ear melons, oh auto-mob billows.
Seamy scene, Nellie.
IV. Obey-niks
Us nakedy nose-mimes upset verse on tom-toms.
She ran out looney modern, prickle-null.
A jazz slave laugh, no lust-catch,
us new-life paranoids spank’em.
Nose mimes!
Sweet posies yeah and no-nose runners, knee bazooka pieces.
A vat-happy slow wagon pricks the vest, smarty ducts …
V. Pokey Technoslobber
Joust Lizzy loses rockass
deprived zebra kennel zest.
Proteus lies, must prove that
or blackout, two tipple hiccups
cross an itch at useless tielike poker detective.
Prove that Jenny or bail out toeholds bozo.
Ah trudge proud toehorse zits.
VI. Just Some Silly Me-Slime
Hat valise big-domes nohow
pretend to Otto’s mob piles?
Fracker ruckus unforms me?
Sleaze-nimble men voice itch?
Or bust’em nutcracker?
Kill-cow vibe rises?
Knee-boy last cow nervous hi-ho mudchuck
nicked your nose-pouch-by-night now.
And pray to poke a mopery toe?
