Just so we’re all on the same page, #130 and #131 ARE on the same page. So the lower left discloses some of what will be on #131. And the reproduction is a photo, not a scan, and it’s not of very good resolution, so there will be some attempt via text to clarify what is visually impaired. Ironically, the two acrostics for these two segments are “Out of Focus Locus” and “Out of Locus Focus.”

Top left shows a woman, presumably our Narrator, dancing on a somewhat-guitar-pick-shaped platform. She is saying “Seams are things, wot? I knot.” (Sneak preview: in #131 she says, “Things are not what I seam.”)

Out of Focus Locus

O, to Mollify a fearful soul
Ousting all of Monsterdom our goal

Unto us: outré imbroglio
Understood: We “conquered” polio

Thus with COVID-19 esoteric
Thanatopsis cannot wax generic
O, a Brave New Conquest–what say U
For its Health & Safety Voulez-Vous

The next segment will include an image of the entire page.
