recording lester

lester was a lonely guy
he had a tape recorder
he'd record the sound of various times
it gave his life some order

he'd record the sound of eight a.m.
and play it back at ten
in case he missed a sound or two
he'd hear that hour again

and when his library of tapes
of moments from the past
had reached sufficient size and breadth
he recorded his last

and now he listens all alone
to all his tapes, his face
will tell you all you need to know
about accoustic space
