audiophiles' lament

Post by sasha » September 15th, 2024, 12:25 pm

strange birdcall
rush to record it
then - silence

(Every time. Bookend to Photographers' lament: "By the time it's framed & in focus, it picks its nose, scratches its balls, or flies away."])

squirrel on his back
on my deck like on the Riviera
too slow with camera
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

two cats
nose to nose on fence
dead batteries
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.
