But a dream

Through the toy vocoder
little girl from next door
    merrily
    merrily
    merrily
    merrily
voice made low and bent
inhuman for a while

Fag smoke curls in from window

We're in bed laughing
in part
afraid

Not late
but dark

  1. This is a delight. I like the word 'vocoder' and the repetition of 'merrily'.

    Thanks for posting.

  2. Thank you, Jonathan. It's always good to hear from you.

    I like that word too: vocoder. The Os are lovely.

    I remember working in London, near Dollis Hill, travelling in through the Winter months on the tube to work in the basement of Guildhall Library. I came to forget what natural light was.

  4. Sweet.

    Having a laugh, perhaps the best "workaround" response ("in part", but still) to a technological annoyance like this one.

    Though there was always that classic Kubrick solution -- pulling the plug.

    (That latter form of termination of course being not partial but total and final.)

  5. TC,

    It must be said, when we hear her singing sans vocoder, it's very endearing.

    As to our own Kubrick solution, until Daisy gives us her answer, I guess all we can do is keep paddling.
