Part 1 I The Bösendorfer piano Paul's day has gone appreciably well Geraldine uncapped her field wine There were bees all over Paul's tool box A bee zipped by Geraldine's picnic basket Geraldine sold the red Bösendorfer piano Paul saw bees crawling all over Paul's day has gone appreciably well Geraldine has just sold the red Bösendorfer piano The bees Paul's hands are full of jelly and grease Behind the governor, a bee lands on a cricket Paul washes his car Paul's car is wet Geraldine has a dream about the Bösendorfer piano Paul saw bees crawling all over II Cats in the sun Bottles behind the cats Cats within the baskets Houses outside of the cities Masks in front of the kittens Hats on top of the stations Trains behind the apples Trees on top of the cattle Forests on top of the beetles Mexicans athwart the axes Beetles adjecent to the Mexican ambassador Cats adjacent to the cats III I hate some things and love others I hate the bees but love the Bösendorfer piano I hate Geraldine but love Paul I love the bees when they swarm Paul's fruit I love the cap on the field wine I love the redness of the piano but hate the timbre of the piano I love the jelly and grease on Paul's hands but hate that Paul's day has gone appreciably well, and love Geraldine's picnic cloth I hate the crawling but love the bee who landed on a cricket I hate the governor but love the Mexican Ambassador Part 2 I Geraldine worried A mousetrap The piano tuner's brother A bee lands on the tuning hammer Just inside the antechamber, a glass shatters Paul's torque wrench Oranges A guest pesters Geraldine hides behind the ornate screen Paul's brother hovers I made you scrambled eggs They buzzed around the town house A weed Suddenly something Paul dislikes the sunset Geraldine enjoys the sunset II A hat on a trumpet A bee on an onion A candle near the trumpet A group downstream from the picnic A berry in the field wine A tonality superimposed on the scenery A scene with an onion A hat with a hat pin A pin with a trumpet A drop in the bucket A man over somewhat A cat with a gimlet III I pushed the kitten and it skittered I pushed the onion and it bounced I touched the gimlet and it wobbled I pushed the glass and it shattered I touched the bee and it hovered I pushed the candle and it bent I touched the piano and it quivered I pushed the Mexican Ambassador but he did not think it was funny I touched the piano tuner's brother and he thought it was very funny Part 3 I The piano tuner's brother Geraldine worries A bee drowns in the field wine Paul's hands Something softly A bee hovers over the torque wrench Paul thinks everything has gone splendidly The governor's hands The governor's motorcade Paul cleans the jelly and grease Geraldine whispers to the Mexican Ambassador The kitten chases a bee Behind a bee, the Bösendorfer piano quivers Next to the bottle, Geraldine quivers Paul touches the bottle The bottle touches the mousetrap II Mary in front of Jean Todd except for Lucas Brad among Sonya Jean while Clarke Clarke behind Wilma Jones by Maxwell Mark inside Wilson Anders between Mary Jean without Minnie Dawn without Amy Fred without Donnie Nellie into Max III Geraldine thought about the piano She missed the veneer of the piano She thought about the timbre of the piano She missed the piano's roughness She feared the piano's lower octave She loved the piano's reflection, and feared the hornbeam shanks inside the piano She loved the mystique of the piano She dreamed about a silhouette of the piano In her dream, she touched the piano Part 4 I The bee landed on Geraldine's picnic cloth A tree Behind Paul's workbench, black insects crawled all over Then the motorcade stopped The Mexican Ambassador Geraldine spread out on her picnic cloth Geraldine spread jelly on a cracker The shopkeeper grinned, and thanked Paul The Mexican Ambassador was timorous Geraldine has just sold the red Bösendorfer piano Behind a workbench All the appetizers had been eaten by that time Black insects swarmed the gardenias Paul's day has ended I kicked over a trashcan Geraldine smelled the gardenias II Pencils with pocketbooks Grass next to hammocks Women on glaciers Swords on a roadster Hands before grommets Singers on cable Wings beside surgeons Moss on emblems Glass unto the preachers Masks inside the hammocks Wippens on the hammers Grass on the singers III I'm tired of Geraldine's antics I went down to the park and I kicked over a trashcan Later I poured water all over a patch of gardenias I took away some empty wine bottles and recycled them I sat on top of a hill and watched the sunset At the banquet I couldn't bring myself to eat any of the appetizers I lay down on a blanket and watched the bees zipping by I began to feel a little bit better about things Then, I began to feel a little bit better about things Part 5 I The governor's motorcade A bee is like balloons Behind the workbench, insects The Mexican ambassador crept Paul's hands were capable but tender Geraldine squirmed Geraldine feared and desired the piano Geraldine feared the piano and desired the bees Geraldine's mother The piano tuner prepared to speak Paul twisted it with ever-increasing force The bee slipped in undetected The governor behind jam A wine bottle is falling over but has not yet fallen Paul is embarassed in front of the whole class Geraldine used the rag II Mats in front of the front doors Casks on top of the awnings A brick on a parking meter A cloud on the laundry hamper A breast on the best man's fingers Caskets inside the house Bottles underneath the blankets Children beside their uncles A waistcoat around a tummy A hand beneath a sweater A man beside a child's uncle Blocks on blocks III For a bee, the Mexican Ambassador is scary The wine is enticing The pine trees offer a haven and memories of home The tuning hammer is likewise scary The jam is likewise enticing Geraldine is scary and enticing, like the workbench A bee is indifferent to the Bösendorfer piano A bee loves the gardenias To a bee, many things offer a profound sense of mystery and wonder Part 6 I A piano mover traverses the window Geraldine The Bösendorfer piano quivers and shakes A woman in a different city read the invoice number to Paul Jam A bee spirals out of control Paul's father prepared to speak The governor prepared to speak Geraldine steps forward but her gown is caught on a basket Leaves dropped all around them The piano mover crosses in front of a window Paul's eyebrows deflect some of the leaves The bee struggles, but it is futile Everyone watches with rapt attention It seems the house is full of piano movers Geraldine has a quiet moment to herself on the rear balcony II Black on white History on the Volkswagen A spate of homicides in the capital Hundreds of products through the conduit The show in spite of the reviews Muscles into the 12-week training program Partisans against the loyalists Some of us with others Fear minus the consequence Blood under the floormat Haste versus imagination You because of Michael III Paul presses through the thick foliage Some branches are too strong to bend It is often difficult for Paul to see a distance ahead Paul is like a piano mover who must cross in front of innumerable windows to reach the piano Paul is like a stumbling bee Paul reaches up and pushes a verdant branch out of the way It will only be a moment before Paul emerges from the forest Paul thinks of Geraldine as a branch falls on his head Paul emerges from the forest
