always already there before i get there but have also always already just left...

...
vancouver keep asking me
how many people in the show?
well, i keep trying to explain
somewhere between nought and one
because
am trying very very hard at the
wholly innovative technique of
live self-erasure
of visibly and audibly physically disappearing
or at least lessening
while onstage before the watching audience
but really cannot guaranteee or promise this
groundbreaking physical theatre techniquing will be on stream for this summer
...
so i might just have to keep talking instead
...

is it all about increasing the space between the atoms so the light can get through?
...
or is it about bending the light around me by harnessing the power of the magnet?
...
or simply mesmerising the audience into believing i am not longer properly there?
...
or cunningly convincing the paying punters that they would rather not be there,
so that it is them who are only half there to see me?
...
ahhh, that would be telling
...
or sending half or more of me off on a pioneering double-speed time travel into the future...
...

so that i am
always already there before i get there but have also always already just left...
maybe...
maybe...
