fieldnotes62Groundhog or FoxGroundhog or fox. Monday, July 4, 2016. Valley under the highway overpass. Hit by a car. Does death make us malleable or indistinct? Is it the great equalizer? A waiting room in Hell. Where have you been my bonnie young one? The ass end of modern infrastructure in decay. Who would choose to build a world in this image? What you do for the least of these. We go through this world with a pretty shaky understanding of various animal genus and families. A sound recording isn't like a photograph any more than a beaver is like a sparrow, but still the...2019-08-0808 min
fieldnotes62H.G. Wells PossumPossum. Monday, July 4th, 2016. Valley in front of the wooded cloverleaf with the drainage stream. Deadly transitions. The wilderness is closed down. Spiteful congratulations. Detective work is logic-based. Honest mood assessment and a frank aesthetic pronouncement. All in a day’s work. I don’t take holidays, ma’am. The failings of a naturalist and city planner. The highway sounds like an ocean of sand endlessly roiling our contentment. Tide’s coming in- take to the hills. Crime scene photos of a vandalized museum exhibit. More nautical metaphors. Little picture/big picture. There are questions with no answers, and questions with ans...2019-03-1410 min
fieldnotes62Independence SparrowSparrow. Monday, July 4, 2016. Outside the train station/parking garage at the university. Flew into glass? Everything’s locked up but the machines keep humming. There’s death in falling, life in flight. Imagine being a pretty, little thing. A brief accounting of my ignorance. Conjectures are made in an attempt to fight off the topor of an oppressive summer day. What does it mean to be a witness? What are the costs and benefits? What do I have to offer? How is a universe built? Have I ever enjoyed holidays? Negative space and the modern temperament. Is the world our shad...2019-03-0813 min
fieldnotes62Hypnotist Blue JayBlue Jay. Sunday, June 26, 2016. North Mountain in front of the run down Victorian house with the porch. Hit by a car. Wild manicures. At the count of three you will forget any of this happened. We are robbed daily. Cosmology and the foundations of the scientific process. Who notices us? What would I have made of life and death 500 years ago? Would I have thought about these animals at all? The constant breeze through the trees makes it sound like a cassette recording of scratchy LP. All our attempts at preservation add up to a confusing, obsolete and noisy loss...2018-07-1105 min

Lost arts, dead languages and the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Does anyone else but me think about these long vanished landmarks? What animal wouldn’t lose its mind listening to the constant undertow of cars and airplanes and motorcycles and lawnmowers whirlpooling around their head? Halfway thru another harsh year. A camera has an intention. Thumbing my nose at the winners. Have I given up on trying to make something pretty? A near death experience. The...2018-07-0711 min
fieldnotes62Japonais SquirrelSquirrel. Sunday, June 19, 2016. Upper Mountain near the old Telly Savalas house. Hit by a car. Infrastructure priorities and consequences thereof. A neighborhood where people have the money to live in houses that don’t all look the same. Down to the cities in trains. A strangely oppressive environment. Some rudimentary notes on flora and fauna. Do little kids still look for 4 leaf clovers? Do they still rub dandelion heads under their chins? Summers before air-conditioning- the windows all open as people play Rummy 500 on the screened-in porch. Nobody eats until father gets home. All those people are gone. Nothing survives on...2018-06-2009 min
fieldnotes62Spiral Jetty SquirrelSquirrel. Sunday, June 19,2016. That private road that runs up between the highway and what used to be a quarry. Hit by a car. Nature, Art, then Commerce- a timeless triptych. Observations and apologies. There are hundreds of different types of animals that you’ve never seen sleeping. Who designed our Sunday routines? Family, God, and commerce. Fun in the sun. I feel like I dropped out of society somewhere around the age of 6.

It’s reassuring to have a purpose in this world. Tools for living. Do worms have a social life? What’s it like under there surrounded by all that dirt and dark and damp? Could a worm dream? Do they know another worm when they meet? In death the worm ascends. How did we become such strangers in this world? Have we gained anything in our forgetting? Less than 10 miles from here the remains of Thomas Alva Edison lay buried unde...2018-06-1108 min
fieldnotes62Little Orange Tabby CatLittle orange tabby cat. Sunday, May 29, 2016. Day before Memorial Day. Route 46 near the diner where they’re doing construction. Hit by a car. The shape a life takes. Don’t believe the television cop and detective shows featuring troubled geniuses and super-computers- there is no algorithm for violence and destruction. Oppressive thoughts in anticipation of the heat and the light and the people. Science and folklore. The flattened affect of a weary observer. By the end of this I’m confused and slow and lost. What if Nick had gotten shot, and Gatsby had lived on? Would that book ever have b...2018-06-1008 min
fieldnotes62Little SquirrelLittle squirrel. Sunday, May 22, 2016. Grove near the round sparrow. Hit by car. The avenue of heroes. Violence is a confusing and ugly addition to any vista. I don’t think I like the sun. Garbage is strewn across the landscape like lines of poetry. People are a disappointment. All hail the little guys, the young ones, the old ones. Quitters never win, and winners never learn. Do elephants really go to the same place to die? I sound depressed.There are no answers in graveyards, only questions. Is this what Alan Lomax would’ve sounded like if he was only give...2018-06-0807 min
