Watch that you don’t get the tippy Genie,
Or if you
do that you’re prepared for it,
And position it under the right Circut
(Watch the
cyc! Don’t tip your head back too far!)
Check the bucket:
Hot Hands,
replacement lamp.
Check the feet:
Is the
bubble level right? No? Damn.
Re check everything.
Listen to the sophomore remind you not to have a party with
a giraffe in the Genie
Ascend.
Fell the heat on your face as you rise
(Heat
doesn’t rise, scrub, hot things rise)
Stop, go up a little more, stop again,
“Hey can
you get the E-Stop?”
Get into place.
Find the little gold pin.
Unplug the
instrument!
(You don’t
want to electrocute yourself)
Find the little gold pin.
Lefty
loosey, righty tighty
Free the housing.
Don’t look too long at the bruised and swollen glass
The art
department will want it for something, God knows what.
Safety pins in and up. Free the lamp.
Maybe. Sometimes they get really jammed in there.
Damn, that
one got fucked up.
Now careful! Open a
new lamp
It’s cold. You’ve taken off your
Hot Hands to improve your dexterity. The dimmer room was cold.
Don’t touch it. The lamp that is.
It’ll blow
when it heats up if you do
And send
glass falling down on some unsuspecting actor
(Well not
really, but it’ll be a pain to get out of the instrument)
Good, you’ve done that well.
Pins in and
down, housing back in the instrument, plug back into the dimmer
Does it work?
Did it blow?
Return to Earth.
