in our place in providence, the decibel level reached 86.3.
unable to think properly, groping with a seething headache,
i took 1/4 trazodone, 3 codeine acetaminophen, and blueberry
tea from halifax. i was woozy. there was a state outside on
aptly-named empyre street, bass going full blast. i tried
sleep. i couldn't think. drums going full blast. there were
horns. i pulled out my giraffe banjorette, set up the h4n,
and began to play. i had troubles hearing myself but the h4n
didn't. i fought off the music outside. my tinnitus was
roaring. i couldn't focus. the windows were closed. the
shades were down. the place was shaking. i played through
three pieces for twenty minutes. i was furious. noise
pollution in providence is horrific; it's reached 92 db at
times. i sleep badly. i'm guilty of brain fog. our place
suffers from more noise than our place in downtown brooklyn.
i tried earplugs. they didn't work. the music-machine grinds
on.

the sound controls. it couldn't be tuned out. things were
shaking. this happens a fair amount. when i played the
giraffe, i could focus on pieces of melody. the giraffe is
melody-perfect. it fights against the desiring-machine. the
desiring-machine desires flesh. it encapsulates flesh. it is
device-control. it runs alt-control-delete. it controls
kill-abort. it seems like teen spirit. it seems like freedom.
freedom is nothing left to lose. it controls teen spirit. it
controls freedom. it seems like postmodernity. i became ill.
my head's going to explode. i tried reading john clellon
holmes' go. i couldn't focus. tinnitus explodes. for once i
noticed a severe differential between the right and left ear.
i recorded the musicsound. have it now. i think of bernie
krause and mickey hart and fred lieberman. i want to write
like film noir but it's just noir. but the music's good and
you don't have to hear it at 86.3 db.

then there's this - the rewritten cull below - and i think of
the primordial, and the Baal-Babel of noise tearing into the
body, never letting go. and it may be that noise.

the giraffe banjorette is a very quiet instrument.
