w h e r e a n y s o u n d
all
this
space
watch it
get dark
cars moving
in the streets
travel far
sleep
puts number
distances
in the head
don’t think
darker and darker
on
the turning earth

TJB: The title alludes to sound but these minimal utterances describe darkening space—page/world; mental/physical divides—& resist contemplation.
