It grew weightless from the incandescent white sidewalk like a fantastic attraction in a pornographic Disneyland. The rose-colored some looked organic and alive, like an obscene monument fahioned from paper-mache by an evil child into a gigantic replication of the flushed and abused buttocks of an abused infant. The pink flesh-paint had peeled back in bed-sized sheets, revealing the previous color to have been a deep leperous yellow, like a gaudy underlayer of pus working beneath bubbling, tender skin. The dome teamed a rainbow of glittering gold-pink hues that arced above it, made luminous by the heat as they mixed with the sifting brown smog. he marquee was a sideways monolith tiled with a mouthful of dull plastic teeth, ajar as if smashed by a fist. Spelled out in candy0red building-block letters were the attractions offered inside: "Triple Feature! 24 Hours!... Body To BOdy... The Autopsy Feast... Lubejobber... Purified Air! Air Conditioning!"
