saturating the riverbed

an insufficient, unfinished offering, but an offering nonetheless

Saturating the riverbed

a simple melody becomes fodder for a round with entries in all twelve keys. in this version, entries every 5 bars travel round the circle of fifths, eventually revealing that magic property of modulo-12 land, 1*1 = 5*5.

text by Troy Suben, telephone poet extraordinaire:

saturating the riverbed of unconsciousness
she delivers an unhorizontal smile
in the pizza commercial
of a ballroom dream

that is not a false statement,
or is it?
