Sound Box
Saint Paul, 16 October 2005
Hear piano strings struck by felt hammers
Listen to a cello offer salve to our grief
Anoint ghostly tones to ally our hunger
Delight in the sounds we hear
When we purse our mouths
Eavesdrop on those of incidental purpose
Imagine promenading to a Strauss waltz
Deconstruct into darting particles
Conjugate each a bouncing ball
Then when your turn comes up
Make that sound box sing
Know the plunk of a stone
Breaks an undisturbed pool
