Curtain (similar curtain):

(but with a big lippy mouth smack in the middle):

And Eva, just below,

Rugged in beaver,

Froggy hat, canvas chair [initialed EVL] –

Mits on large metal clutch and

Face in horn of gryatone,

Oneirophone, kinetescope – (pup)

Spread like leather eagle (chaps),

Hot, bothered, rudely stirred –

(ready to dish (dish dish) some wisdoms:) –

[turns, turns (sneaky coquette), speaks (with orch mimitating)]

EVA:

Oh – Hello, and welcome to

The Grand. A princely place

Where one can live

Deliciously. Here you will find

Innumerable ways to dine,

And to recline, and indeed wax

Fresh through the abundance

Of our delicacies. We succor

At your every whim, and believeYou will relish your stay.

[cranks joystick]

MOUTH:

~Will relish your stay!~

EVA:

Where your travels will lead you

We frankly don’t know, [MOUTH: ~We frankly don’t know!~]

But in the meantime – [MOUTH [zesty uptick]: ~meantime~ ]

You can come [along] with me,

And I will show you those things that will be hereafter.

MOUTH:

~Oh show us those things!~

~Those things that will be!~

EVA:

[wide-eyed and ready to rumble] All in due time, baby!

[MOUTH: duetime, dewtime, time, times, time, times, half-a-times – ]!

[slams breaks (yanks crank)] But first,

A brief word of explanation:

You see – [sings]

At the beginning of the circle of the earth,

Before the portals of the world were in place,

And before the assembled winds blew,

Before thunder purred [purr!], and lightning spritzed, [punctuation!]

And before imaginations were estranged –

[MOUTH (cooing): ooo – imaginations – estranged – ooo ooo ooo]

Before the present years were reckoned,

And the foundations of paradise were laid,

[MOUTH: foundations – paradise – laid – ooo ooo ooo]

EVA:

Before the heights of the air were risen,

I planned this for you.

MOUTH:

~She planned this for you!~

[fermata – smash – slow-swelling boing]

EVA:

Yes, it was planned through me,

And not through another,Just as the end will come through me,

Through me alone.

MOUTH:

~Through Eva Alone!~

[one lone bass: ~ (and nobody else!) ~]

EVA [speaks]:

Oh – so you don’t believe us now,

[sharp] Don’t chya? [confusing syntax music]

Well then – say “Aaaaaaah”…

[shaft-in-the-box, slow churn]

crude chorus of “Ah” rises as aural reek from pulpit –

MOUTH gapes, disgorges magic carpet tongue, on whom rides ADA in top hat, vice-gripping

pinstripes, glittergilt lamé cape – musical cat call – winks metallic sparkle ping*

lovingly spreads seam of curtain mouth, parting lip by lip

unveiling luscious, luscious backdrip, with reddening rug –

for which tongue streams back monalisalike through rolling greens and tinted, glinting faraways

or furling riverveins that ramble or rush along strands of ambergold resins beside canopy or

panoply of pineapple or durian spines, and flesh, cutted with curl of icy twig and nettle, thrush

with shells! mollusks, mermen, motherpearling in rainbramble plush

and plumskins peacefully dangling –

her skies, wetting with gouache or aquarelle,

clouddunes bubballooning in woozy pastel,

baby salmons, big blues, mime singalong sweetbreads of cyan and krill,

fairknotted by rung, teal, tart, tied up or rimmed, or irised and honied (they spill,

like little blue trees of undereye that capillary in quiver precise, precise)

and crescent things that speckle or spear with the white,

bluesoft popping of egg-crackle or sprinkler-commencing-shush,

give tip of the tingle, lip, spit (make crumblegushgore) –

and plumes, pillowed plumes, pillowed eyespotting plumes,

parasol plumes for the fingering mind, to runalong, skim, or feelalong, round,

that curl (cream) to the touch by her fountainkiss, waterscrim, arch,

fairflowering and incorruptible, exceedingly bright with light,

that their perfume is bourne thence even unto us,

(for birds with necks like camels to carry them away

over ivory spires, gorgeously pierced.)

ADA steps in – tableau become vivant

CHOIR [voice of MOUTH]:

OOOooo!

AAAaaahhh!

ZAZ ZUZ ZAH!(all gawk-‘n-glaze)

[(turn)] – electric sizzle kindles something piquant – ADA shivers spasmodic, ejaculates a

twitchy pirouette thing (p-p-puppethole surprise(!) – her jitters and querulous leapings

controlling music of MOUTH

EVA:

How now Misses Kisses?

[MOUTH [weepy]: How now? How now?

Are you greatly disturbed over what you see?

[MOUTH: We are greatly disturbed!]

Do you suffer agonies, agonies of the heart?

[MOUTH: We suffer agonies, agonies of the heart!]

That you do not understand?

[MOUTH: We cannot for the lives of us, possibly understand!]

[(-though we search out your part, your measure, your work-)]

You say: why then was I born?

[MOUTH: -oh why was I born?!-]

Or: why did not the womb become my grave?

[MOUTH: -oh for only the womb to turn my grave!-]

To spare this exhaustion [MOUTH: -exhaustion! exhaustion!-]

This tiresome matinee – [MOUTHspeak putties into muddlemelt of yawn]

Fed ours hearts this travail, [MOUTH: -stuffed my face with travail!-]

The travail of our good people, [-yea! those good-well-fine people-]

The people of the Grand. [-the folks of the Grand!-] [lunga, cymbals]

EVA [thinks]:

Good question! [drooling harmonic miasma]

(and you might feel a sense of surprise [MOUTH: -oooooooo butterflies!-]

when you hear with your twelve thousand eyes [MOUTH: -with our own many eyes!-]

its answer of deceptive simplicity): [sings] -just-

Pick me up the scattered raindrops,

Make the withered flowers bloom (again for me),

Show me a picture of a voice,

Call back an hour that has past (in time, for me)

Or stretch the stars over the North

And hang the world upon the curtain (there, for me)

Or bind the waters in their clouds (their thick gray clouds)

Or shut the winds up in a jar (and seal them there, for me)

Or weigh the weight of fire

Or bend the shape of the sea

Or measure the times by measure

Or number the times by numberOr spear the heavens til they drop down dew (drip down dew)

elsewhere BIG STRAWBERRY [Bessie] reddens, rounds, dangles ripe and erroneous from tuft of

tree –

‘long with other pied things in the mild morning glue –

pinwheeled in spindling daisydream, and goosoft wanting as a goodly thing of wont

wondering: oh where is the mouth that feeds me, berry that I be?

and feeling (a crescent gnawed clean from a losthappy leaf…)

her brindled melodies as marmalade to whetty-pie the pipes

sweet singalong longing that is full-well contented in the mere moderate expression of itself

(the limpid pleasings of) taciturn wading in the undifferentiated preformed prelinguistic lagoon

drags big whiff of symbiotic helium balloon bug, sings:

BERRY:

While I wait a while to wade and wile my wide awaking days

Will wile to anyone, a wave

And while I’ll wash away and wind my wistful melodaisies

In falling folderol or pillowed parasol

(by dust of daffodil or barely asphodillowburried)

Why we wait and wile to wade a while (our wines are waking)

Well wild we wash away and wonder will we wind up mellowdraining

As mallowed marmalades or willowed mallowmades

(fallowswills or merely as-for-we-we-warry

We’ll wallow willingly wan winter wide oh why (white willow’s aching)

(While the why) our arms are reigning

When will we swallowfill? (our vines are breaking)

(Our wimpling once upon a time is waning)

Its ever daffodroll or warried mellowall, for me.

meanwhile a millinery of mushrooms go about their calisthenics

by the banks in rising morningglory glow –

a lone toadstool [Rudy] discerns the faroff strain of a winsome dangleberry,

swoons, wanders upstream in the way of the wanting salmons

to the flanks of a sailing swan and her attendant lamellar merman [Baldi]

digs for ferryfare in trou, places token in armored mouthpart like jukebox:

the willows sway as merman wends his mouthless vocalise, loosely of limb and

melismic in spry toe as a several manied screens unspool below in blithe aquacade

serenade accompanied by the lithely curl or purr of laving river vulvas –by bulge of bush! preens BUBBLYON the little lionbride [Gus]

her vanity hosting a session of vigorous puckering

and smearing of lips (cottonmouth milking for pigment

among the punctured bellies of enormous fruits)

crimping cochineal carnage in a mirror

(mulberried alive like liken or floss) –

two grassy knobs aheave with pollen and dyew

spread wide their lemony cerumen as puffing butters by their sundrenched dingle by

where the old grandma putti poke kisses, playfully

pricking each other’s heads until they gas and sag along the sod

a pleasant breeze like musky silk gentily asphyxiates everyone for their morning nap

save Mushroom who swanders full mast (Berry by)

and Berry who hankers for Mouth (all a-doze)

and Eva who willies for Ada

and Ada who’s piqued by the shroom

(and Bubblyon who’s red all over)

Slow spilling confetti of fish skin and feather drift down

in fondling daze as their strains entwine

Berry droops dovely as a readied bow by the jewel-laden boughs

her hips so calypso in the wavering air

Mushroom strum drum and wide as a hide as he whets his toe upon the strand

a lean fine botox crawl across the cap as she crisps the approach

aching out to the ever almost there of-

MOUTH (‘so long, farewell’; memories and mammaries in morendo, pendant, pert):

(taut, tensile, but balloon-like, and deliquescent under teeth)

[MOUTH (jauchzend! shimsham shapoopi)]:

wiggle wiggle!

while we wait and wade a while while we wiggle woot woot!

gently jostled from the midday mull Berry begins to bobble by base of spine in jaunty diversion

or mild-mouthed amusement (bababouche) from blue gum that glues bum above the blades and

against the mustard spread azure – and so too to the spore the sod a maytide moonbounce be,

elastic in dome as a plastic bottled sauce in liminal squeeze (too (much too) much) or a seesaw

alternating in coronation or aerobical recoil, globing, cresting above the rim, and a kind of

flexuous wanting to impress –

Bubblyon wakes sticky (from the breeze) to a bestiary of combinated balloon things spilling from

bowel of egg and stream, her makeup turning back into bug for the peckish beaks of birds

– gaggle of river vulva splash slimnastic umbrella parade coy and spry as the whiskered fish

(mother motion makes a trampoline) as lamellar merman roes ashore and mounts a fledging

swallow-tailed flutterby (coo) to pillow high above the breasting clouds, their cleavage nimbly

abob and drippling with coruscale and seed (the pumps of gyration station where old grandma

putti blow up one another’s deflated heads with an icarusty pipe in attempt of excessive upping)

–

the whole of Mouth is abuzz as Eva ferrets Ada through an empyrean of petals and a forest of

tubes (spreading their bright pink amnions as lightbulbs of kelp in inflatable glass)

[MOUTH:] For compassion will pass away

And resolve will wilt…

PART THE SECOND

[For your review the following things have transpired:

A fabulous revue was announced!

A terrifying frieze was beheld!

A mouth did speak! An Eva did explain! And an Ada did reveal to you a technicolor dreamscape

of frabjous aplomb!

In which a big strawberry did sing a wistful strain that filched the heart of a besotted toadstool

And a ballet did delight yes with wiggle and wave!

At the zenith of which dear Ada did then deliver a sweeping coup de (gasp!) that plunged us up

orphic into the cosmic abyss!

Wherein we espied a curious venereal probe-

Before the ball did drop and the scene did transform into a dazzling deep-sea disco!

A big gay saucy romp! Until a mysterious guest did make known Its mysterious presence-

And all became transfixed-

Then a sultry evening air did waft, a sweet sunset glamour did unspool,

A mountainous layercake did crown,

And all did make sacrifice unto the vanishing of It!

Til yes! pavonine, preposterous did It wriggle and slough-

And swaddle then the sky in Its hungry display
