Secret weapon

When we're already been through The Very Hungry Caterpillar twice, complained at cats in hats and tried to stretch our way our of the rocker at any mention of Curious George, dalmations or dwarves, it's time for a little Maverick Room. I really like some of the pieces therein, but its immediate value is how it sounds like a rhythmic drone to a ten-month-old at bedtime.

... like an ampersand
between eyes & ears,
the soundtrack strung
together images
the way popcorn butter & soda syrup
held us to earth.
