day 36 transcription

Let's talk about the axis of the planet
Let's talk about the water table
Let's talk about fabrics
Let's talk about the discussions surrounding the arrival of a new trend
A new fashion
A song you listen to repeatedly
A program pre-installed on every computer sold that quarter
That month
That week
The squad's computer was heavy
The computer was heavy because that's just how they made them 8 years ago
We pushed it around on a cart you might find in a library
Let's talk about wheels
Let's talk about earnings reports
Let's talk about reduction roles
Let's talk about the people we remember talking to when we were sick
He'll wake up one day in a city from the past
Let's talk about the surfaces of buildings we don't usually see
The smells we were not exposed to, in kitchens of restaurants we've never eaten in, but have passed by in cars and on trains
This train is full of people with something in common
Walk between the cars, relax with a drink
The couple is arguing about desert
Let's talk about the days each month when we are statistically most likely to meet someone new
Let's talk about dollars
About free trade
About the hope for more today
Let's talk about our failings
I let her down
She let him down
Everyone let everyone down that year
When you sleep in the jungle you dream of outlines
Let's talk about dreams of stages, and dreams of bodies, and dreams of scissors, dreams of tools, dreams of cleverly packaged material
Of dice in the jungle that we roll but do not understand
Let's talk about our disappointments
Let's talk about a powerful man, who knows every second of profit and loss of our collections, of our gatherings, of the groups we make because we want to see the next century, in some branded way
He screamed at the sun and broke us down
And once we were broken down, he threw you into the ocean and me into the clouds
Now he's in the boardroom, on a conference call
Would you like to listen in?
What's /really/ happening this quarter?
More corners
Lots of promotions I bet
Unwelcome renovation, but they'll get used to it in time
The days change so slowly that long term goals are difficult to track
Do we need a chart for the heirarchy?
A filing protocol?
A new way to find meaning in symbols?
Let's talk about systems
Let's talk about systems
Let's talk about systems soon
When we can find a quiet place
When we have some time together at last
Something is going to happen in 36 days
