Everybody Knows

What do you see?

Show Notes:

These are sounds recorded for eyes from around my neighbourhood in Toronto....But do I want people to believe in the naive magic of eyes? What kind of poet is still qualified to perscribe those placebo pills of the gods? And when you are not here can the same power be applied just to the words? Can we hope for the power of imagination? Maybe it will be safer that way. What we lose in vividiness we can make up for with freedom.....But it's important too for the speaker to have a set of eyes to give words to. It's true; I want to believe in the eyes of listener. The steady stars against which the darkness of words flow. What do you see?
