For
twenty-eight years, Myrrh conducted Forums for the nonprofit group
she started, YLEM: Artists Using Science and Technology. Although Myrrh never formally engaged in "performance art" some Forums she conducted came very close!

| Like
flesh out of water, Two-tonnic women with fluffed-up Nacherul blonde headdresses cruise the streets of Guat. City amid little bronze pygmie women in vivid rebozos. Not lost yet, tho all the streets begin with Santa... It's time for more SunScreen. Watch a street vendor cook at the curb, see the grey tortilla dough turn surreallian blue over the flame. So weird! (Dont eat)! Cruise on in Humngus running shoes, in white shorts and XL T-shirts, jutting breasts emblazoned with corporate logos of Liki Taco and Juggernaut Village Tattered paper ornaments. Bad smells. Towers of peculiar fruit placed on hand-loomed cloths. Beggars. Sell you something, jewelry, pencils maybe? (Yes, but bargain, now). Soda in little baggies? (Unsafe! Unsafe!) With hands placed on Priceless fanny packs and Penthouse zoom lenses, they cruise through the killing heat in search of a place to park their butt, Flxible big rigs angling in for a scrap of shade. |
