Here is another poem from the back catalog. A strange one I admit but I am sure it is the perfect fit for an even stranger mix yet to come. The backing track is from the recently uploaded Xaphoon samples and stems are forthcoming.

Text:

my world is counted in percentages

small moments
waitings

for time to elapse
for me to collapse of
exhausion
of a drained mind
a drained spirit

my day is counted in percentages

counting up time down

ever elusive
neverending

salivation
and driness
explosions of remorse

my day is counted in percentages

26% of 4 files downloaded

52% forgotten memory

76% enjoying the grief of my long-dead father

my day is counted in percentages

percentages of things I’ve forgotten
percentages of things that I’ve yet to learn
percentage of ambient noise
percentage of letters unread
percentages of messages unreturned

my day is counted in percentages

my day
is counted in percentages
