where and when the ornithological intersects the instrument

[Alan Sondheim]

where and when the ornithological intersects the instrument
or rather where the instrument produces the digital wilderness -
this is what is left after the fury of the melting snows -
ice ages and boiled ages for all to see and hear -
i am a perfect high-speed machine
using antique instrumentation made of the quality of wood
not so much for your enjoyment, as for testimony
that such craftsmenship existed
o exalted ones, that such craftsmenship existed
