Passenger-Tara MacLean

[00:08.14]Walking round Chicago, [00:10.52]I have smuggled you as cargo, [00:14.33]though you are far away unknowing. [00:19.28] [00:20.90]By the time we get to Salt Lake [00:24.28]I have packed you in my suitcase, [00:27.77]ironed the creases from my own remembering. [00:33.22] [00:34.69]She said Bird, why? [00:46.17] [00:48.98]We wound our way to Texas [00:52.16]and I summoned remote hexes [00:55.80]and I sent them across dust and oceans. [01:02.61] [01:03.47]In Phoenix, Arizona I had the notion [01:08.18]I might phone you, [01:10.56]but there it lived and died, a notion. [01:15.73] [01:17.16]She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why? [01:44.02] [01:46.62]Oh my satellite, oh my passenger. [02:04.38] [02:14.91]We came up on Ohio, [02:17.70]I have you chewed on like a biro. [02:21.38]You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering. [02:28.52] [02:29.20]We came to Minneapolis, [02:32.35]all fizzy blood and twitchy fists. [02:36.69]I buried you in a day of snowing. [02:41.20] [02:43.50]She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why? [03:11.51] [03:13.15]Oh my satellite, oh my passenger. [03:27.85]Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.
