along the road past the high tin fence
as I was riding round
I'd go back and forth past the factory gate
to seize a slice of sound
         
insulation in the roof
is very tightly bound
but the downstairs open fireplace
surrounds a slice of sound
         
traffic, a possum, crickets
a small roadbike overwound
it's a van, it's a bird, it's garbageman
a skylight slice of sound
         
it's ok for me, I have the gift
one day you'll come around
and sway your head between breezy gums
and share a slice of sound
