a tune from my Lady – foto by Smith

Peter Ball took a recording of Lady K reading three of her older poems and incorporated them into his own new music/word/voice, creating a Kafka’s Lady web of words by way of The Lady From Shanghai.

So here via Lady K, Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth and Peter Ball is Apartment One’s latest tune — Lady Shanghai at reverbnation.com/mutantsmith. (just click PLAY).

(Actually there are two totally different versions – see songs #1 and #19).

When Lady first came into my life, I called her Kafka’s Lady because she was so film noir foreign movie strange.

As I became used to her strangeness, she became Lady Kafka.

As I grew to accept her strangeness, I called her Lady K, which soothed some way to Lady as we daily lay.

But now that I know just how truly full of otherness and multiplicities and strange superpositionings she really is, she’s all of the above simultaneously, and then some.

My companion, my friend, my partner, my other, my weirdness — my wife
