"With the grace of ballerinas and the strength of gymnasts, the synchronized swimmers known as the Aqualillies glide through the water, putting to rest the idea that mermaids are a myth. The troupe is fast becoming an entertainment must for private parties held at Southern California’s hotel and home pools. What audiences see is a near-otherworldly vision of comely limbs moving in domino-like sequencing through air and water, conjuring up a bygone era of Busby Berkeley musicals."
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I don't even know where to begin. Being able to see this every day would make me move to Southern California. This is one thing, at least, the East Coast could never manage--or even imagine. Bravo LA; bravo California. Whoever came up with this concept should be given carte blanche to produce a film--no, several. "Liquid masterpieces of music and motion" indeed! Absolutely perfect. I will be rereading the article; scrutinizing the pictures; watching the videos; and eventually, writing a series of poems based on these Aqualilies. Really, though, nothing will match the thing itself. If this isn't poetry, I beg you: what is?
