Perspicuity actually means clearness, brightness or sharpness. Perspicious-perspicuus=transparent, perspicous, fr. perspicere=plain to the understanding especially because of clarity and precision of presentation.
During the 1970's I was creatively involved with a great and prolific writer/poet named Sara Stringfellow Messmer. Upon completion of the same named composition I asked her what it reminded her of. She contemplated on it for a few days and came up with this title. It was most befitting because this title piece was to me a penetration through the complicated and wasteful web of confusion caused by complaceny, greed and lack of rhythm awareness.
