… Anwar Sadat’s yacht, a gusset of rarified nautilus snot, a boogerball from a Seraphim, a travertine velveteen jungle gym, a treadle for weaving beatifical thread, a yeti pelt, a breaded smelt, a beaver spleen, a two-headed beetle, a helmeted weevil, a funnel-cake funnel, a tunnel trestle…

Jeff Dorchen browses the Papal catalogue, and loses his mind somewhere between Anwar Sadat’s yacht and Arnold Ziffel’s whiffle ball bat.
