designer's model

designer's model is a poem about an interesting idea... kind of a short out line if you will of what uses the Fashion Designers of Tomorrow would have for a programmable fashion model...

and press their words to yielding lips:

A BAD DECK APP HE'LL TEMPLE TWIRL

hunted

lost again
with meaning
she weeps:
liquid crystal tears.
