Finding Calvin Pt. V - A Master Unknown - The Golden Horde

By Adam Privett

The Golden Horde - Part 1 - Toast Is Toast


Intersticing the naveish scene 
Far past the purging corridor 
He angled reluctantly 
The intercolumnations that lied before 

Was it a court or gallery
An assembly for the once implored 
How many silenced, stilled, and screamed 
And how many still all the more

Ruminating historically
A Bayesian to his core
Proffered little solacing 
For the mimicry kept in store

More than weighted curiosity 
A sudden burden to be endured
Accompanyed an occulted bulbous being
Shadowing the red facings it absorbed

An aprophenic stacking ting
Another subreption to be ignored
But this was a flicker-rate torture scene 
Featuring the silver-screened he once adored

JESUS CHRIST!
Elle: I object
SUPERSTAR!
Vivian: You look like a Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavor. How cute.
HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE!
Professor Callahan: a complete masturbatory homage indeed (Legally Blonde)
(the view zooms into Callahan's mouth zooming out of a little boy's trying to sing along to the music video on an al

Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said, neither am I
And the air outside's so soft
Is saying everything
Everything
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say
(Song by Toad the Wet Sprocket)

(Suddenly a man barges in and starts whipping the little boy)

Little boy: It was Jimmy, dad.

Man: There ain’t no God**** Jimmy boy.

(Zooms in on the boy weeping, then zooms back out and now the boy is in trepidation hugging the cow pen on a seemingly brisk Autumn Eve, bracing for his lickin’...)

Man: Nice and proper this time boy...

Boy: It was only one slice.

Man: It ain’t your pizza to hand out. You give them a slice then they’ll want two, then three. You got to know your role, boy. Now bend over for your lickin’.

(the view zooms in on the boy's butt,  then zooms out from a small hole onto a small table onto a small ball dropping and rolling around anemically)

(Voice from behind) 

Stranger: Hey buddy, are you practicing your foosball? 

Small Calvin: Ya-ya-yes.

Stranger: Ah, well you're not shafting your ball right. See. Here, give me your hand. You have to lean into it when you push it through. See you want to try to use your sway to position your ball on your side of the table. (He sways into small Calvin). 
See, like that. Stay with me.  Now see the way I spin your rod, you want to grip it but not too hard. Think of cupping a pair of dice. Have you ever cupped a pair of dice before?

Small Calvin: Ye-ye-yeah. 

Stranger: Go ahead, loosen your hand a little bit. It’s okay, I got you. Team-- remember? Now lean into the table as you spin the rod. (He leans into small Calvin even harder). 

(Scene zooms to black and from a pair of double doors, Calvin flees from the church towards a nearby treeline he's running for--butt naked wearing only his Air Jordans and his Superman t-shirt)

(The view panoramically pans the breadth of the tree line and re-emerges upon Mr. Humphries and Calvin overlooking a cherry blossom esplanade)

Mr. Humphries: Pastor came by. Showed us the curtain you made a mess of. Have you got nothing to say for yourself? You know son, I don’t know what’s wrong with you? I mean, What did you think? You go to church, run out like a god**** savage and think we wouldn’t find out about it. Do you really have nothing to say...nothing? Alright, bend over, get your lickin’

Each lickin' intercolumniated cherry blossoms upon cherry blossoming
Accompanying a sudden what if, a maybe,  a certainly couldn't be 
For Fata Morgana's only happen at Open Sea
Perhaps it was the blood rushing where blood rushing shouldn't be

(The view zooms in on the boys eyes then out the eyes of a king)

I have a voice! 
Why yes, yes you do (The King’s Voice)

(The view zooms in on his mouth, where his stuttering turned to gibbering, and then to spitting then sprouting German out to a captive audience wotanically)

(The view zooms in and lands on his fist, which unravels into a flat hand covering a cell phone, and another more delicate hand stroking the top of his hand)

Teenage girl: did you like it?

(The phone buzzes and he picks up)
(It’s a text from an anonymous number. A text with a picture)

It was Mr. Wuf pining
Beside his nearby lying Julie
Fingering his cannon binding
Spooling his tetrimino'd vandaling

Artaud’d and photostressed blinded 
Specular rays adjoining crepuscular hate
He followed his above head spear flying 
Recalling the remembered forgotten as John G

"John G raped and murdered my wife!"

It was only a matter of timing
For the chasseur-mauve ballisting 
Wedged, anchored, and climbing
The Lorraine'd weighted the Piedmontian of deux Paris

Ending their coup d’etat findings
The liars truth has set the captive free
The dock and skirt to Devilish binding 
Counterposing Democritus to Damocles 

Climbing he coupled a childhood finding 
Long before entering his sex-raged teens 
He pictured the red ball and the striving 
And the jubilation accompanying its reach

He recalled the smiling and high-fiving
The hoots, hollers, and naivish camaraderie
His gym teacher "you ain't no Ned in the priming..."
"You are the son I wish I could only now see"

Oh it was such a joyous reminding
That powered him through the weighted unsleeved
Like cream he would be known as the rising 
Overcoming the many homogenized in others' dreams

Surfacing the castle's top siding 
Exiting their prismatic theatre of cruelty
Phalanx'd with cerulean D’Keynesian beguiling 
Blue devil'd mural kill boxes towered alpening preened

Undermining above and below pinings
He channeled the geometric chasms  latticed 
With each intersection tower finding 
Robbed the chemin de ronde's main luxury

For each cornered held tower tyning
Stymieing all deciding to proceed
Through each portal door leaf lying
Calvin steelmining what he feeds

Though all towers held for climbing 
Calvin sought passage intuitively 
For with each door beyond the hymen
Was a crapshoot scattered Piccadilly 

For not every ridge held aligning 
Beyond the shuttered known to be
As some opened dropping off untimely
Leading to the matrices ground flooring

So it was as he was gliding 
Traversing the wafflery with above average feet 
Every door echo'd a clamoring reminding 
To the below'd who he has heard but yet to really meet 

But while avoiding a kept fosse's vising
And then dodging a Cheval-de-frise.
Up and over and down under unkindly 
Louganis'ing into a gully's fast flowing stream 


Thank the Lord I have personally never experienced any trauma like that! In fact, I can only recall being spanked once. And I certainly don't remember being molested!--Though I have been to many youth groups. Jk. I mean--it can't always be at the Catholics, right?
All jokes aside, I am neither for nor against trauma. Calvin's trauma, after all, made him an amazing man. So go nuts! I guess.--Jk, once again! (There is no indication what denomination the church belonged to within the text, but considering demographics, he probably wouldn't have attended a Catholic church.)

As dark is this was, perhaps this can be excavated tastefully with Alice, as well as all the other traumatic arousals that phantasmaorically came to Calvin's mind.  I mean, what happened to those curtains, am I right?

In all seriousness, team, I take trauma very seriously and no one should be traumatized--ever!


And I didn't want to make it this dark, but it had to justify transition. So it goes!

Is Calvin UNC (a prodigal transfer under tutelage, perhaps!? Or, is he just a dog pretending to be a ram?) is there room for a threesome?
Can I get a  "Wolf!-Pack!"
"Hi, Calvin" "Whoosh"

Was Calvin fawning with his John G yowl?--Was it a way to cope?--Did he just snap?--Was it a calculated participation?--A subcreation?--A necessary hypostasization of the ones attached?
 
Calvin: The Great Survivalist or The Great Beguilist 🙂

One of the character themes that runs throughout the drama is Calvin finding himself less than. Mr lamington might be another cause for that feeling--Or, he could be the father figure Calvin it never had! #TBC

Was Calvin truly cornered?--Or was he just the cornered stone!?--Perhaps, the freest stone of all?

Trivia: there's CC references in most entries. How many can you find?

With Calvin draped in ram's wool, can we make the association with Cyrus?  Could we also make an association with Babylonian with the Canary yellow?--perhaps King Rameses, referenced within the reading of the Superposition Essentiale? And could the phantasmagoric hallucinations be the tribe of Benjamin (creating dissension from within.  Calvin:
A Jew that fled Ramsey's only to be attacked from within by his tribe of Benjamin? Check the timeline, of course, but maybe that's irrelevant?—Maybe Calvin is immortal! Jk, obviously.  That's silly. 

We shouldn't need talking animals for a fictional work to be perceived as such. Let us not confuse Clifford the Big Red dog for his page-sized orientation.

Below Is the idea I have for the towers that he's surrounded by atop the castle. 

I might add more notes or wait until part 2
