a thin film story (poof!) for dulcimea (and other girls)
             as told by don kickotech
             --------------------------------------------------------------

             i am don kickotech and she -- my elektron-dulcimea.
             now and then i bash windmills to tune up ditzed-down
             windsongs -- pulling no panchos punching no doggies
             sticking it to the puerile-fish bone-tones -- what crass
             wet grass broken glass mobile-charms awkward arms -- i do
             it all w/o stick-stones.  i do a good job.

             dulcimea -- what can i say of the purest of white trash.
             she lives in no convent.  her time is spent in red not
             off white or blue.  her convention -- exiled to a drinking
             prairie school -- is to not drink but to pose nude for
             art class.  she does studious meritorious things mostly
             vegetarian beauteous and desirous.  science meets art.
             hoooow do you doooo.  mondo alto.

             dulcimea drop-dead gorgeous -- you carry not one but two test
             patterns -- askin.  help adjust the trouble in my set.

             i set my antenna on dulcimea but we are so much in the future.
             tense dulcimea presents express sentiments:  i so love you.
             i love you already so.  i want to baby you.  to move in with
             you.  to have fights with you.  and win.  them all.  to tell
             you -- luv --  exactly what to do.  and not to.  i am your.
             woman.

             i don kickotech being sound of body don't mind:  i too rather
             love you.  i love you so.  so.  i want to baby.  you.  to move
             into.  you.  with you to have fights.  and win all the wars.
             with you i am your man.  woman.

             dulcimea is pissed slighted and annoyed.  dulcimea does kabuki
             lady macbeth right back at me:  iiii am seeeeriously earnest.
             whyyyy do youuuu make fuuuun of meeee.  i saaaaid baaaaby.

             to the right.  dulcimea is my sweet cream tit -- rit a tit tit.
             rit a tit tit to the left.  dulcimea is my sweet ream cat --
             cat a tat tat.  cat a tat tat to the right.
