Trans

     “The D.J. Speaks”

“O.K. imps, snot-freaks, pill-elves, hi-fi fairy-fury flipsters and intelligences, its out, all out now onto the rooftops—

Your only chance left now is to come out here into the naked star-fright and freak it out alone.

Yes, out until it’s scared the living Fainlights out of you; jumping you out of your star-split wits and back into your sprite mind.

Released in your new fledged LSD lieutenantries above the cities of the West—

Luftpost TV antennae-quivering falconries suddenly checking in the new-alerted starlight as you realize some fresh gleaming ledge of intelligence on which to alight.

—Was it witch I said then? Yes, witch-kids, witch-kids, riding out on your broomstick wavebands night after night.

Behind their mumbo-jumboing guitars, each group another coven of them—

                                         Trans—

                      Trance—

TranceSISters shrieking the bisexual superhet electronic guts out of them coast to coast and trans— atlantic and all the way back round again and again and again—the hair of those trance atlantic telephonists left crackling behind them.

And then up— up and round the whole Van Allen belt and back tingling with ions! —The whole billion brain-valved telepathic wavelength left blasted behind them.

And then finally off— off blowing that long cool solo out into space you never want to come back from but must, must for this final chorus when the whole heavy nuclear combo starts laying it down— blasting the dumb-ox blockbusters out of your old conventional consciousness—

                                        WHAT?

you think this is just some little railway sidings halloween or something? No baby, this is the real H-bomb witch stuff flying around in here tonight so just you mind your spooks and cues and smile, SMILE cause you know this only that little D.J. joke your D.J. daddy’s been having with you all this while. You know, that old saggy god story about how this week again ‘The Eve of Destruction’ will be going like a Bomb.”

Avoid excessive metal elements that might disrupt your equilibrium. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Element: Wind Communication is key for Geminis. To improve relationships, place a pair of mandarin ducks in your love and relationship sector (usually the southwest area). Keep this area clutter-free to promote open and honest communication with your loved ones. Create open spaces to allow the flow of energy. Place wind chimes or mobiles in the northwest corner to enhance communication and creativity. Use light blue and white accents for a calming effect. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Element: Water Cancers are nurturing and protective. This month, enhance your sense of security by adding metal elements to your décor, like metal frames or wind chimes. Pay attention to your kitchen area, as this is your wealth sector. Ensure it's well-organized and clutter-free. Incorporate water elements like fountains or bowls of water in the north corner of your home. This can enhance your intuition and emotional balance. Use cool colors and curved shapes to support your nurturing energy. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Element: Fire Leos thrive on recognition and success. Enhance your career luck this month by placing a bowl of water in your office or workspace. Add a touch of gold or yellow to your surroundings to amplify your personal power.
