#411 The Music Lesson


Too late for a taxi, so the
teacher calls in a bell to
take her pupil to her home
out in the countryside.

They've done this before, is
well-rehearsed & dressed
for. The student needs only
to assume a slightly higher

register to become an ear, in
part a kind of signifier, but
also allowing her to hear which
way to go & give directions to

where the best seats are. The
bell keeps time. The ear be-
comes a part of it. The sinking
sun promotes the score, enabling

a different color to be heard.
Now the invisible is rendered
visible. This lesson is complete.
What will she learn next week?

I'm glad these are still going. This is a fascinating project. Great use of the image to create a poem...
