about

A classical fantasia in the garden (Distillation)

lyrics

Mmmm mmmm mmmm
That summer’s day
Sitting quietly
Under the canopy
Wrestling something out from nothing
I randomly press “Rocket’s Tail”
And turn it up too loud

Look! Here comes a Blue Jay
Screaming at me in a tree
Darting and diving
Scrapping and crying
In excruciating disharmony

He shatters this moment
Into thousands and thousands
Of fractals and fractures
Of glistening shards and sparks

And from the broken shards
I pick out a fragment
While he screams at me
Over and over and over
And over and over and over

Calling in his conspirator
A cacophonous pas de deux
And bebop noise improvisation
Incessant and demanding
Up and down
Here and there

Bah doo dah
Boo doop
Bah doo dah
Boo doop
Bah doo dah
Boo doop
Bah doo dah boo dah dup
Boo doo dah dee

I look closely at my shard
A sparkling piece of Time
Glistening now in my hand
There is something here in nothing
It fills the air with its sound
I hear it all around

And it’s when I start to write
“That summer’s day”
That I notice the deafening stillness
And that the Jays have both
Flown away
