Felled

For Morton Feldman

alternate version and player

In the pouring rain tonight someone was shooting fireworks over the Harbor, past the KENTILE sign and the Smith And 9th street Elevated. I turned on ninth street just in time to catch the finale and feel the thud thud mutter in the clouds as they went all crazy back lit colors. I stood there and watched people walk buy and in and out of shops and thru doors and barely look up. I thought to myself: “What has gone wrong in this world that people won’t even stop to look at fireworks exploding in the clouds?”

Speaking of clouds, this piece looks a lot better without the compression, but low rez has it’s virtues too… something to be said for clouds made of squares.
