DEAD HAND
Mystery,
mysterious, mysterioso – that’s Bella!
Grammatically
in knots, I altered course to the Southwest
and
went for a drink, a toast to earthly things.
Thinks
under a laburnum, Master Monk, sehr bewegt,
While,
in parallel worlds, deep steeds sizzle and kick
away
the strata - 1, 2 and 3 - to reveal pots.
My
second pleasure is to bask in 72 degrees Kelvin
coated
in composition No. 183. Upon a side table,
model
number 27, stands the LMA Gas thermos flask.
Slang
everywhere; change has come.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note: The italicised words form
the consecutive titles of a programme constructed for ‘performance’ at the
‘Dead Hand’ session of Listening Room at the Bluecoat on Friday 16 April 1999. Monk,
the composer of ‘Mysterioso’ also
gets in the piece! The final sentence of the third stanza is a (possible)
explanation of the illustrative title used by Mr Braxton for his 183rd
‘composition’. The full list of titles is - Mysterioso;
Bellagram; Knots; Southwest; Drink; Earthly Things; Klabuster – M; sehr bewegt; Parallel Worlds; Deep Steezle
Kick; Strata - 1, 2 and 3; Pots; Second
Pleasure; 72 degrees Kelvin; Composition No 183, (side table, number 27,
LMAGAS flask); Slange; change has come.]
