<p> | <p>There's something about this work that wants to stay a secret. The published poem includes the comment, "...[I can't make the next two words out. I first wrote this poem in longhand]..." which Gene transcribes in the score, along with stage directions. This sheet (page 23) came to me with a folded-back top right-hand corner. It had clearly been fed into the copier that way, as the print runs right up to the bent edge. The page number is missing. | ||
</p> | |||
<p>Of the twenty six pages of score, this sheet is the only one that misfed in the scanner. It survived, not without a struggle. | |||
