AUTISTICI
Volume Objects
[12K, www.12k.com]

  Stillness of night.
Breaking of glass.
Strumming on guitar strings.
Gently sliding your fingers.  

Snap, cackle and minute pop.
Reverse tape on repeat.
Humming of environment.
What's more, it tickles the brain.  

Floating in mid air.
Nothing is moving and all is well.
You whispered something to me last night
But I can't recall the meaning or sense of it all.  

If I could turn myself into an ear,
I'd prefer to listen to these Volume Objects
with an open mind.
As part-melodies come and then disappear.  

One wonders where beauty begins and 
ugliness ends.
Does an image of an abandoned shed
surrounded by snow mean much to you?  

All I recall are the black and white photographs,
Gently wrecked by lack of memory and what came after.
