About the Exhibition:

1,2,3,4,5,6 i'm walking on the sidewalk

1,2,3,4,5,6 i'm counting my steps

1,2,3,4 i can hear my heart beat, it goes 1,2,3,4

1,2,3 i tap my index finger on my chest

it counts 1,2,3,1,2,1,2,3 to keep the beat

The polyrhythms are setting in, but it's not quite comfortable

my typical cadence isn't working

and I'm starting to pick up feedback

it's dissonant but oddly on time

but i'd rather trust the bingo cage beat

waiting for my number like expecting the bus to turn the corner

the fireworks are playing loudly in the distance

and the soft warm organ is starting to play

it plays 1,2,3,4,5,6, 1,2,3,4,5,6

like Joey Ramone

like Yoshi Wada

like the tears of a wave splashing the sand before 

it pulls aways

 the waves sing 6,7,8,9

i bend my four fingers, 6,7,8,9

i'm floating, but i can't see the bottom
