I could write a million attempted Conversations
To remember where I've been-
But what's the practicality in that?
Let's build electronic recorders and save
Every spoken, voiced, pitched, broken word
Saved for reviewing in back rooms, when age has
Taken our hands- we'll hold parties for listening to
Concerts attended forty years ago, some moment
That had little impact, yet is preserved.
What will you listen for anyway?
