Danger Music

In order to play this piece, first
The composer is to decompose,
On sight, in the middle of the stage.
Then the conductor will be strapped
With a leather belt
To a lightning rod.
This rod will be placed in between
Two active Tesla coils,
Performing the looping melody:
F-A-C-E
C-A-G-E.
Each musician around this display
Seated with his instrument
In crescent after crescent,
Crescendo after crescendo
Will swallow and play it from the inside.
The bars will bend, starving notes
Will jump from paper to feed on the players.
Fortissimo ad infinitum
