Artist's Comments

Another from the graffiti series. Title from a song that moved me since the first time I heard it in my childhood. I learn so much in silence, there are days when I am so happy to do nothing more than that.



The Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

silence is a powerful entity.

He envisioned a steamer so grand in scale, and so luxurious in its appointments that its supremacy would never be challenged. And here she is, willed into solid reality.

That coat is a bit of a trademark at this point. I think we mutually fell in comic book cool love when we met long ago (before the Matrix :D). One of the advantages of height is long coats, the disadvantage being getting in trouble/noticed.

I lost the original upload and wasn't feeling up to scanning the image back in - so the name stayed. Hearing that it looks like part of the sidewalk makes me like what I thought was cheesy. Thank you.
