Transcription

Every moment, motions mark the all-encompassing medium with chiseling compressions that set off the airy slab this way and that, sending some rolling part- icle shapes and structures our way before dissipating into the ether, and some of these rolick- ing waves make the cut, speak ou- r frequency, present colorful vision shows to the eyes on the sides of our heads, and like boi- sterous parrots presented with a plumage-laden mate's song, we bob our heads and swerve this way and that, incensing us to ecstacy , to joining with our own aria in this endless choir of harmony, symphonies of strings, brass, wo- od, car horns, birds, crying babe s and all sound of furious signif- icance the same.
