Yes, Gerald, the piece has a 'nice' existential spin.
Political me, of course, part of me anyway, took it as an image of George Bush running for his life, soul, and whatever may be left.
I guess a couple of days ago, at his news conference in Baghdad, we were given witness to some lively, heart felt, Arab 'sole' music. Question - are Sunnis Arabs or Persians?

Thank you, Doug! Was reading about L. today
and at first it came to me as a kind of dream image,
but it pushed further than that, desiring expression.I
find these things often won't settle for dwelling in
some isolated world of memory, pushing out to find
themselves as subject, preserved, then, for certain
occasions... like today's.
