“Arthur Kamil Flam
(An epic song and poem in terse verse)
There’s a story that the world doesn’t know
All about a myth named Arthur Kamil Flam
He was gone missing for three whole days and nights
And I ain’t going to to tell you about none of it
I ain’t going to tell you about none of it
I ain’t even going to tell you about how he went missing
You ain’t going to know about any of that
You ain’t going to know since I ain’t going to tell you
This poem is all about
how you ain’t going to know anything when it ends
The myth is about not knowing
The cult of Arthur Kamil Flam is without end
And all his destiny is Cleopatra
And all his destiny was always Cleopatra
And all his destiny was always Cleopatra tomb
He is the highest royalty the world has ever known”

“Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) was an important inspiration for the book Apple Pie Ultra 8.”

“The work of Apple Pie Ultra 8 is what I call a Cleopatra. It is a mixture of genre. There is the pulp crime fiction, science-fiction fantasy, religious doctrine, confessional fiction, Western Gothic fiction, autobiographical elements, dark comedy, surrealism, stream of consciousness dream poetry, romantic poetry, culinary fiction. It’s what I would express in a word Cleopatra.”
