all our tech
comes with sounds
– a ting, a poink,
…………………….a blue marble
bouncing down
into a small porcelain bowl
on your dresser,
the billowed curtains,
traffic and early cafes,
a wheel of gulls
and the first sunlight across your
still sleeping…

I’m so crazy about that title, I can’t even tell you…

It reminds and the photo reminds me of a pachinko machine. The way the marble travels along an uncertain path. Or maybe one of those old Rube Goldberg devices

Yeah – I remember as a kid we had a game called ‘mousetrap’ – where players gradually constructed a way elaborate device triggered at the last by the silver ball released on high. Hours of fun.

Right, same concept, like they use dominoes for a kind of perpetual motion thing

Of all the gorgeous phrases and images here, I’m completely besotted with “traffic and early cafes”. That brings back a whole flood of memories. And I had a Mousetrap game also; I’m think we might be of the same generation.

Wow, how you see in sound! It’s like living on a different, rapidly revolving planet, or an infant’s dream. So cool.

Love the way it all works together, Peter, the immediate, its circles with dashes of infinity, at the limit of the accelerating bounce and in the focus of marble, and the image fits perfectly.
