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
Gentlemen who have placed a microphone beside a naked woman’s stomach after lunch and later, after slowing down the sound considerably, have sold these noises on the open market as whale songs
