Arginine ~ ?"

Meanwhile, Twitter grew ever ~ more hungry,
Pale and puckish,
Haphazardly, dreaming of dinner ~

Bill entered the drawing room and noticed that Twittering looked pale
and puckish. "The hell with this" he said, "let's call out for a pizza."

"C is for Capsicum who more than capably
Laid Twitter's trembling body bare,
Ignited lust, unzipped her jeans, touched her wetness there.

Methodically, if horizontally,
Capsicum made Twittering whine all day, pathetically,
Left her blithely languorous, weak, and limper,
Too, while Twitter hungrily,
Romantically, dreamed later of dinner ~

As Twittering reclined on her chaise lounge elegantly,
Hazily lost in a fog,

happily dreaming, if lackadaisically,
Of dinner ...

During The Hour
Of The Cocktails and The Hors d'oeuvres.

Meanwhile, Capsicum grew ever ~ more maniacal,
Her hitherto mild ~ mannered demeanor
Gone gaily out the window ~ !

Henceforth,
More imprudent, if impudent, her salacious behavior,
More shrewdly insightful, daily,
More meaningful, notably inspired, not to mention, unseemly,
Capsicum's wily ways, for direly consequential ,

Major, her string's chords sounded,
Her salivating cunning , reverberating
Vibrato,

Her canny conniving
Schemes, themes, and variations...

Deeply resonant,
Richly complex, reminiscent, one may venture
To reflect, of Beethoven's late string quartets ~
The Grosse Fugue,

Playing now
In The Drawing Room ...

Bad thing.

Served up
In considerable heat."

Ever do to you ~

So awful, so fearfully frightfully dreadful,
So alarming, shocking, and appalling,
So horrendous, so inexcusable, if unspeakably

Abysmal,
What atrocity ~ ?"

A lonely child has,
The one that must be satisfied,
If there is going to be hope and a hope
Of wholeness,

Is the unshaken need
For an unshakable God."

.... & now a word on Maya
Deren,

Bud de Mr.
James Merrill ~

"Rhythm is a defining element of all of Deren's films, it arises from
the play of repetition and variation which is integral to her
experiments in narrative.

Meshes deploys an innovative style of cutting on action where the
protagonist steps over such disparate terrains as the beach, soil,
grass and concrete.

The rhythmic drumbeat and the repeated movement highlight her
deliberate progress across these discontinuous spaces. As the central,
consistent element, Ito's soundtrack enables Deren's temporal and
spatial experimentation.

Rhythm also impacts significantly on spectatorship. The rhythm of the
sound, movement and editing conspire to produce the effect of a trance
film.

Meshes of the Afternoon's dream-like mise-en-scène, illogical
narrative trajectory, fluid movement and ambient soundtrack invite a
type of contemplative, perhaps even transcendental, involvement for the
spectator."

"And what more could I possibly ask
As an artist than that your most precious visions,

However rare,
Assume sometimes the forms of my images."
~ Maya Deren

"COLD SHOWER

DRESS OPTIONAL

SO LONG ..."

"Later, Dude,
Au revoir ~ Bring something scrumptious
This evening
For dinner ~ ! Kiss kiss."
