a bird
birds
singing bird automation
another bird at work
walking the streets without sidewalks and singing to myself - to others - to whatever
with joy with generosity with anger with sorrow
with a desire to smile and say hello - or without it
with the urge to yell silently - which is all i was taught to do
my work is to sing and my work is to heal
these days
for how many days
a line - or a wave -
is a collection of small dots - a continuity of dots - of short moments
a current
an electric current
electrons moving through a wire - a collection of small dots
an electric wire
a hose - a water wire -
a current
thinking of yoko ono
the circular staircase
the ladder
thinking of slides
of curves
of cycles
of stretchy material
of blue
lighter - darker
of daytime
of timechange
of seasons
of slow and constant changes
of uncertainties
of the impossibility of certainties
but
i am certain that i love you
sliding
on the slide of life
a light blue
huge slide
being kids - always
surviving by
being playful
that is how animals normally survive
the most playful stay alive
law of nature
i am thinking of
no digital no speakers
the sounds of materials
i’ve explored the sounds of
voices and instruments
never
the sounds of other materials
can i do that
well
i have a garage here
and the shops are supposed to reopen in two weeks
flexible materials
if i stretch it
is the blue lighter
but i am really not friends with
plastic
i am thinking of processes
of birth
of life
i am thinking of
sinewaves
of graphics
of curves
of oscillations
everything is just oscillations
can we slide on that fact
i am thinking about
swings
of dead - sleeping
swings
in every school yard
i am thinking of kids
trapped inside unsafe houses
i am thinking of fear
of abuse
of how trauma kills
imagination
(van der kolk, 2014)
silenced swings
i am thinking of
electricity
inside bodies
inside walls
of life
of death
of cycles
of sinewaves
i have to go and get the
individual note on music
by daphne oram
sleeping somewhere in a box in my parents basement
i can cycle there
never read it - really
