just a piece take 2

This is a piece that Tim commissioned me to write for him. It's (I think) going to be used against some percussion and spoken aloud. The best part about it is that it's basically a collaboration between Tim and myself, which is fantastic. Nothing warms my heart more than Tim treating one of my poems as an instrument in his piece. This was custom written for MTE McCormack, and the version below is the final one. He requested that I change the beginning to suit what he's already written and that I replace some bits with other ones. I'm not entirely sure what this as a whole is going to look/sound like, but I'm excited to find out. Have a look if you're so inclined. It's still untitled, so deal with it.
