Poem Typography with Flash

The poem is called "A Poem for Record Players" by John Wieners

"The scene changes
Five hours later and
I come into a room
where a clock ticks.
I find a pillow to
muffle the sounds I make.
I am engaged in taking away
from God his sound.
The pigeons somewhere
above me, the cough
a man makes down the hall,
the flap of wings
below me, the squeak
of sparrows in the alley.
The scratches I itch
on my scalp, the landing
of birds under the bay
window out my window.
All dull details
I can only describe to you,
but which are here and
I hear and shall never
give up again, shall carry
with me over the streets
of this seacoast city,
forever; oh clack your
metal wings, god, you are
mine now in the morning.
I have you by the ears
in the exhaust pipes of
a thousand cars gunning
their motors turning over
all over town."


This is a Flash project I had done a couple years back. It used to be uploaded on here, but since I used "Alone in Kyoto" by Air for music they decided to take it down.

It's back now. And I added my own music. It's from a song a composed and recorded with some friends who are musicians called "The Waltz of Disney". It's off the new album I'm recording called, "All Theory, No Action." check out more of my music if you're interested @ www.myspace.com/piecingtheshatteredvision
