open space poetry

[Chris Corrigan]

Yes...we have another Nancy White in Canada that wriotes these kinds of
songs, although not in the change room of saunas on islands in Puget Sound.
Not that I know of anyway.

The song wasn't recorded except on a private video recording of the event.
It lives, like Harrison's birthday song from OSonOS, alas, in that medium
only.

By the way, Nancy, Kenoli and I called ourselves "Viral Dynamics."  No word
on the world tour yet!

Chris

And this puts me in the mood for another OS poetry contest, he offers to the
Poet Laureate....perhaps satire this time around?
