maureen fleming's after eros &
		loretta livingston's solo traveler (viajera sola)
		------------------------------------------------------------

		philip glass has spun the dizzy piped-in score
		and has sailed the hands of richard at the piano

		the dancer-choreographer moves exceedingly slow
		butoh: japanese-raised -- art japanese-acquired

		on her side she lies in a shallow circle of water
		the diffraction tiger-stripes her bare naked ass

		with toes she drives each wave as with a logitech mouse
		being nearly still makes for a delicate slow banding

		we enter a realm of pure body optic.

		to the traditional music of merry mexicana
		loretta livingston rides the stage on a retro schwinn.

		within her strapless gown: black bodice a colorful-reds dress
		a bouquet of humor and a california dry touchy-feelyness

		video montages plait a few here-is-a-views
		from the beach to downtown to the barrio
		to a leafy lane	shoot -- "my l.a."

		for her countywide pedalin' 'n' chicago dancin'
		we sprawl into a premature clap-clap kaput
		whereas maureen fleming gets hers on a fingertip cue
