bells ring across the land

the chord structure sounds familiar 

and sad

and i’m trying to remember 

go back in my memory

playing the notes backwards

the beat is inside out

and someone sings in spanish, which makes me cry

i’m breathing at a pace that seems reasonable 

but i don’t know if the fog will lift

or if this is a common aspect of the sf bay area

whether i could sit and enjoy 

whether i could appreciate 

whether i could find a place

where i notice that it seems more humid

and my throat doesn’t pierce with sharpness 

as i go to make a sound

where have i heard this loop before?

why am i reminded of the stillness inherent in calm water?

but this beat is different

remix distorted takes its own shape
