Quiet I asked for quiet no one listened no one hastened to defend the right to quiet Have you heard what it sounds like when nothing is around? Quiet Do you hear the sounds of the stars when you look up no sound no one hastened to pretend what happened to the right to hear quiet I love quiet.

Begin inside Olivian apartment shacks. Sitting on the floor strung out track by track studying the patches the rug makes.
Flapping out of speakers sticks and glue mangled into wings no body of bird, no map of sky just a band made mystical through repeated hysteric plays.
Shooting rapids in the dark clutching boat sides as night dies its dark death we make out stretched out and stupid.
Art is ugly, mean with grubby little hands tugging till it hurts exposing every nerve.
Whispering genius of lyric mows the room with a shifting ability laced in boots and a nobility confined to walking.
Dandelion fields speak cornfield wisdom above pathetic heads clouded dumb impressionistic sun bombs falling on Wichita.
Embarrassing ozark mtn. daredevil strung out on the rent check the Hollywood dole banana and peanut buttered bread making mountains out of music when the simple act of listening was all that was ever required.

I agree, it's pretty heavy on the language.
It's a story abt my first marriage, the friends I had at that time, the deep music discussions we all shared. Innocence and Ignorance.
Thanks for the remarks.
