• Text: Ann Lauterbach
• Genre: Electroacoustic 
• Instrumentation: Cello with Electronics 
• Duration: 4 minutes
• Date of composition: July 2004 / January 2005 (rev.)

Notes: Each letter of the English alphabet is represented by a different note on the Cello. The Cello is playing the poem exactly the way it is written and  always in pizzicato. There are two different note durations - short for consonants and long for vowels. A sampled woman's voice is saying the letters of the poem in synchronization with the Cello. In performance the woman's voice should be triggered in real-time by the Cello. A sampled mans voice, 'Virtual Frank' is reciting the poem itself.
