These are the first and second books of Massurrealist Poetry. The following poetry has been constructed rather than invented. This is a distinction similar to the difference between a drawing and a collage. A drawing is completely fabricated by the artist while a collage is constructed from preexisting parts which have been carefully arranged or even haphazardly arranged! These arrangements are often disjointed, surprising, serendipitous.
     Just so, this poetry is an exercise in collage. The author, Cecil Orion Touchon, being a collage artist, has constructed snippets and clippings of phrases and lines of text garnered from the emails he receives on a daily basis and other sources. This might include the latest spam on how to become rich or establish an erection using Viagra as well as inspirational, artistic, or intellectual strands of thought and insight. The resultant combinations often yield surprising, humorous, insightful, ambiguous and intriguing composites.

The rules of construction that I have used throughout are as follows:

     1 - each line is an independent line of text taken out of its original context, no two lines were originally together except in cases where the line chosen is longer than the poetic form allows in which case they bleed to the next line. These rare cases are usually obvious.
     2 - any time I felt a need to include my own words to add meaning give a certain spin or to bridge the meanings of two adjoining lines I used [these brackets]. Otherwise any parentheses are naturally occurring found material. I usually have not added commas or periods or other markings in order to maintain the collage feel of the work but I permit myself to 'clean things up' if I feel the need to.
     3 - additionally, I have changed tense or person when I felt it was really critical to do so.
