[Note:
This text was written early in February 2000 and then forgotten. I regard it as
a polyvocal text to be performed by a number of performers who agree between
them exactly how they will perform it. The minimal indicative notation includes
the use of brackets for a stage whisper.
In
performance, the four texts may be read as one with an especially long pause
between each section without naming the section as 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Recently,
Tina Bass and I discussed and read through (on our own) the four texts as one
text prior to a meeting of Writers Forum Workshop. However, due to the incompetence
of the chairperson (me) we never got to it in the workshop - so it will be
heard on another day.]
