The Producer’s Poem
…she had an obscure avant-garde genius as her goal.
―Tom Dowd

If he had hair
he’d tear it out.
Hour nine, she records
the same syllable again,
again, again. She makes her art
one syllable at a time and it
hurts to watch. He can’t hear a hair
of difference between sounds, it’s one tick
of the clock against another.

“It’s a funny thing with my name: when I see it written or hear it spoken I feel disassociated, it’s almost like another person.”

About 14 years ago the world lost Dusty. She would have turned 74 years old today. Happy Birthday, love.
