This piece was named after the following poem created by JVL:

Art allows me to run away

from the tragedy of reality.

I allows me

to escape this world for another,

so don’t ever think

art is not as important as other matters

or as influential as other subjects,

it saved my life,

and it did so,

more than once.

Somewhere between the sand and the star dust, Volume III, p31.
