a poem by michael ondaatje.
"An elimination dance begins with a crowded dance floor. At a signal, the band stops playing and the announcer reads an elimination... Any dancer answering this description must sit down, and their partner is also disqualified. The process continues until a single couple remains."
ps: this reads in chronological order, and is complete
Those who have used the following techniques of seduction:
- small talk at a falconry convention
- entering a spa town disguised as Ford Madox Ford
- making erotic rotations of the pelvis, backstage, during the storm scene of King Lear
- underlining suggestive phrases in the prefaces of Joseph Conrad
