Sound: the underappreciated sense

sept. 10; wednesday. [i'm gonna take you to the woods] he declare.

a rustling entrance pickup and fade

crunchy gravel underfoot step step step we are stepping we

follow. footsteps (its quiet here) but in that

purposeful manner. we are waiting for it

distant murmur life outside the wood

growing roar engine by altitude

(cigarette seeps in through nostrils) i did not put that

there

covered ears. there is a muffled blackout

airplane engine direct overhead (we sit in its path) still breaks through the spaces between my cupped palms but something of

loneliness arrives; i am observing shadows cast upon my page, following eyes up bark and watching the leaves and trunks move cautiously into unison

i feel i am missing out on something (this place without sound) this motion

is underdone

i feel a part of it when it connects with me through drum. (funny i set an appointment to get my ears cleared today, unclog so i can Listen). a soporific tendancy in the muted

closed eyes. leaves me guessing; connect the sound to your choice apparatus, motif, source.i am enveloped in those unknowns but describables, pieces and pieces. all bits for connecting to. for linking; what does this remind me of? where does this

take me

to

make believe you are dreaming

interesting fluctuations perception will bend to

we take to further.

oatmeal gravel undertow and heel. planks. bridgecross banter.

muffled washout traffic. softened by this birch in layer. overlaps of bark and leaf

wind pickup childish squeal overhead jetline streamby. footsteps

hunger echoing in an empty stomach, gnawing at me from inside to out

slide zip rundown open access bus picks up speed. comes to pause [takes the curb

sniffling, paces, shifty automobiles and their voiced frustrations

treetop dances mild and momentary . then a surge

birdcall? band chimes in laughter calling enjoyment clap. bare court struck

balls to find hooplacement. rubber soles soul squeak yelps, scurry hoop rhythm vibration disappointment mustered lowtone mumbling, rim tremor, quiver to a plunge:

assault of the swoosh, cheer

through a gated pass, we thin out to filter between worlds; a wooded storyland and the univers(al) setting. "outside" its brighter here) feet hit asphalt. scrape. jeans too long anticipating the thin and wreck; spoils of threaded debris

yeahhhhohhhhh stairwelldownfeetfeetfeet [a clattering collaboration] down. latches. entrances

sewer water ripples, strong cricket undercurrent await

bookslap nonsense (commands) elevators papers rustle feet click clicking ticking clicking discussion chatter echoes comparisons double clickclick exit explanations telephone smiles scroll rattle entrance affirmations beeping acceptance entrance chatter (an intersection) air filtration aeroplanes honing in for a landing strip. transformers.. humm buzzz insectlike manmade rumble kick in fanblade spin and sputterrrr
