Travel Brochure
for the Listening Tour


Nighttime turned in
a transportation thesis

filled with sirens and flashbulbs
clips and cuts

that sound that gainsboro sound
comin’ round again

I love them statistically
she says evenly

lipstick sales skyrocket
on rainy days

whenever wind and laughter
don’t have to mean a thing

candied here in gridlock chatter
while you stand and make a list

of all the sounds you want to protect
a machine for singing

chance operations
at soft edges

we’re nothing but fleshy bits
of streaming data

rivulets
corruptible sparks

yer headlamp barks
fever pitch ephemeral flickers

as transit noise forgets
for the first time that evening

and yer voice whines
by design

sittin’ in the rain
feels like surrender she says

and nighttime listens
just beyond the roaring thunder
