I'm reading this book
That Dick Higgins wrote
And it says
(On page 251 of foew&0mbwhnw)
iii - lights
the curtains open
flakes of shiny plastic drop from the proscenium
and the stars come out
yellow lights talk with blue
blue lights talk with yellow
then they sing
then they quarrel
we are not sure they are quarreling
but they are
something hurts very much
is it the brightness?
the colors may dazzle each other
there are many kinds of yellow
there are many kinds of blue
there may be a little green
lemon and yellow and light and heavy amber
singles and doubles
there may be ceremony
Dick Higgins (page 251) of "foew&ombwhnw"
(please note proscenium should be on a second line, and amber should be on a
second line)
Come to think of it, as Dick Higgins so colorfully laid lines, ceremony is
relevent. This verbiage between EA and KF is lacking in ceremony, not to fault
KF, and it may have been a good and colorful thing if it were not so.
