an intense clearing, city-basin, distant humans, everywhere visible...
You see snow, Luminous Sign, and the City of Wind here.

Hokusai kick higher into the air than safety would allow!
Hokusai kicks you? Hardly! But it's always in his thoughts!
Hokusai heartily moves upward and downward on the same spot and fast!
Hokusai kisses everyone, remembering safe sex, and the kindness of
strangers!
I see no "Hukusai" here.
Hokusai kisses you sweetly but intensely, and the MOO holds its
cyber-breath...
Hokusai laughs infectiously and everyone desires to join in!
Hokusai laughs with you!
Hokusai sings charmingly about life beneath the ceramic tiles of the
old country
Hokusai yells OH OH OH OH ArghhH!
