Free from compositional rhetoric
Triadic Memories by Morton Feldman, played by Roger Woodward to abstract expressionist art and French and English spoken gibberish.
Ouw-oo!
"Let me down, let me down!"
"Yahoo! Dumped you in the croop you dirty breek!"
– Iself
Note
Reading about the composer Morton Feldman that he "began graphic works, with open pitch and rhythm, and music 'free from a compositional rhetoric' in early '50s," I decided to write poetry following the same principles. This is the first example of a poem that is free from compositional rhetoric. It is also quite obvious that its pitch and rhythm are open.
Retroactively attributed to Sunday Scribblings #107 – Compose.
