from Thomas McGrath, Letter To An Imaginary Friend, Book II
"Ain't no grabirons a man can lay hand to. I tell you it's DARK
DOWN HERE MAN!
slippery dark
can't see
I tell you it's hell--"
We must walk up out of this dark using what charms we have.
Hell's everywhere, this only seems like hell, take my hand,
It is only required to open your eyes--
see
there's
The land as it was
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Unchanged and changed.
I tell you millions
Are moving.
Pentagon marchers
Prague May Day locomotives
With flowers in their teeth!
And now the red ball is hammering in—
Spot an empty! Grab an armful of rods!
I'll take you
In the final direction...
Only: open your eyes...
But it's hard, hard, man
I'm standing here, naked
As a studhorse in a rhubarb patch
Waiting
waiting
and here--
Around me
trouble built for small boys and crazy men!
For my purpose (as I keep saying) is nothing less
Than ...
To elaborate the iconic dynamite of the authentic class struggle
In other words to change the world
--Nothing less.
It's hard and I'm
scared ...

Takemitsu on music
“Music is either sound or silence. As long as I live I shall choose sound as something to confront a silence. That sound should be a single, strong sound.” -- Toru Takemitsu
