Severity and allowance
Switch and signal
Plead what you want to plead
Testify what you want to testify
Persuade only too well
With latent sensuality
And sufficient restraint
Hold it in check then
Appease ancient gods
With a violent transfer of power
And the force of contradiction
There’s the shelter object
At the level crossing
Switched on by this love thing
The gate crashing ideal

a true perception of the movement that is produced on the recording surface
a recording surface that reflects both creation and recreation
