The dots are elusive as roving flies.
Tones don’t come into existence on a dot.
Fumbling along prudently
in precarious gaps: WRONG!
The erroneous rambling
causes crashes among particles
and the sounds PLINGELING spring up.

Can the score from a distance
be perceived as an ‘unpainted monochrome’?
Rather as a brittle Chaos
and thus by mistake creating sounds.
In a reduced sense.

What is right and what is wrong?
‘Right’ one looks to be programmed.
For example, plane and solid geometrical laws.
‘Wrong’ knocks these out of position. Knocks mess up.
