The Y poem.
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Clusters form in fields of sound
bound to the electron
the string
and the drum
pulsing forth from diaphragms
moving air
Wavelengths and waveforms
exist side by side
in artificial spaces
Temperatures rise
and dissipate
in beads of sweat
Electrons explode
in symphonies of revolution
where coast meets ocean
Their meaning may be misunderstood
but their rhythms get the kids dancing
Over time
signals fade
then revive
the music come alive
Strands separate
then re-intertwine
the pulses mark time
The disc keeps turning
(25 November 2016)
