	For flute, clarinet, piano, narrator, and percussion. Walking Through a Wall is the first movement from a larger, entirely acoustic piece entitled An Almost Human Gesture which is based on the prose of the poet Louis Jenkins. My setting of Walking Through A Wall attempts to provide a musical backdrop that accentuates the quirky, quiet urgency of Jenkins text.

	Lyrics Unlike flying or astral projection, walking through walls is a totally earth-related craft but a lot more interesting than pot making or driftwood lamps. I got started at a picnic up in Bowstring in the northern part of the state. A fellow walked through a brick wall right there in the park. I said, "Say, I want to try that." Stone walls are best, then brick and wood. Wooden walls with fiberglass insulation and steel doors aren't so good. They won't hurt you. If your wall walking is done properly, both you and the wall are left intact. It is just that they aren't pleasant somehow. The worst things are wire fences, maybe it's the molecular structure of the alloy or just the amount of give in a fence, I don't know, but I've torn my jacket and lost my hat in a lot of fences. The best approach to a wall is, first, two hands placed flat against the surface; it's a matter of concentration and just the right pressure. You will feel the dry, cool inner wall with your fingers, then there is a moment of total darkness before you step through on the other side.
