An attempted articulation of racing thoughts |
| On, upon, a pa(w)n in pain. Piano. I was the promised virtuoso, entitled this aria. How, now, have I slipped between the eighty-eight? Ivory, once stolen valor, twice fails to protect. I find my delicato imprisoned by your affretando. Be alive, aver, alive! Live clear, crave not the average orchestration, inhale perfection. A liar, you orchestrate my once-celebrated production, I obey your metronome. Methodical, maniacal, manipulations per stroke, count, thrash. Missing no beat: again, against, aghast, agony. Faltering, I find disjoint, discord, cacophony. Close behind, I race the ascent of this cunning clavier. Scaling the heights of a two-dimensional magnitude: octave, octave, ought to have. Ought to have this, that, ought to have not to have obeyed. Piano. |
