Infinite Difference, sampler no. 2: Harriet Tarlo's "A Spoon for Stein"

A Spoon for Stein

a curve is a centre if you turn it a round over which

you don't let in substance or do using it using

it in a baby mess throw a curve out of which came

came substance steal a spoon steel it feeling

filling the curve is an ending end the handle and

mush the baby out of a stainless mess a stain

is not an object out of a spoon it curves round

around its filling is a centre throw it a spoon

is a missile hit and miss a spoon a mush onto and

of banana rice pear chicken potato apple

again spoon spoony tune let it go throw
