15. Loss (0:40)
Note: This version of "Loss" appears to be a broadcast of a recording of a reading given by Wieners at St. Mark's Poetry Project on January 6, 1971. This recording was later included on the double LP The World Record: St. Mark's Poetry Project 1969-1980. This less degraded version of the recording is available below. The identical audio quality of "A Superficial Estimation" indicates that it, too, most likely comes from the 1971 St. Mark's reading.
