Mike Young posted my Provisional Avant-Garde essay up at HTML Giant. This means I can never retract it, I guess. When I wrote it I sent an email to a handful of friends saying "please add to this document maybe," and Mike Hauser sent me this excellent response:
It will be mesh-like.
It will not reflect itself.
It will faint alot, and its 'audience' will wonder where it is, until it pops up with a white rose in it's poorly maintained teeth.
If a gaggle of schoolyard brats can find it, they will own it.
No one will know for sure if the parade-goers are playing the instruments with their lips or where the lips are, and thus lips will spawn several religions and schools of philosophy with names like M*U*S*S, The School of Kaleidiscopic Cab Fares Of Our Communicae, Horses Giving Cute Names To Mittens that actually Have Very Sharp Teeth.
It will be unable to make tears in residences, only in 'inconvenient' places such as public transportation, mall food courts, family wakes, work cubicles and municipal buildings.
It will cause tears to appear by rays that shoot up from tax forms and make small mammal sounds in the air.
It will live for awhile in the American Midwest, worried.
Two empty chairs facing each other in an alley.
