Poem by David Andrew, spoken by the composer,
representing the consolation of
understanding oneself, as if the understanding was akin to a dentist's
drill digging into the mind and the resultant clearance
allows room for a more positive future.
The music includes narrator, live guitar ostinato and samples of a cello, a glass harmonica and of the composer's voice stretched
to a sound almost like a mouth harmonica
First locate the area of pain:
with thought's long needle put it to sleep.
Then select, from an armoury of probes,
implements adequate to the gross rubbish
neglect has collected.
Now, carve out thoughtfully
(but at high speed)
the shape of things to come;
a cavity free from care
secure from further wear and tear:
with a whistle of wit blow it dry.
Last, insert with the most steady hand
the lining of laughter; press home
in even measure the hard drying hope,
leaving a smoothed surface
where the world witnesses it.
Time to be up and off having learned,
half-heartedly again, the old lesson of pain
with an almost new smile.
Free to depart, having signed the formal
acknowledgement of error.
