From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

===

Taping the silent sounds of your life's chaotic noises...you become the magnetic resonance of your colorless expressions...To add moving pictures to your empty sound-track requires an editorial decision...What sounds you choose to combine with what pictures you choose to use...becomes the existential film of your limited imagination...What you are able to imagine...is all that you are capable of becoming.

===

A poem...It's above deaf level...just beside your memory...taped for posterity...a sound...a position...an echo...crisp and clean...your voice speaking in the middle of the night...to your sleepy ears...telling you...it's over...it's ended.
