my room is soundproofed in mattress foam, so i recorded eleven minutes of silence at two in the morning and called it "the apartment." the neighbor's cat walked across the ceiling twice during take three. there are forty-seven files now in a folder called documents, updated quarterly for six years running, though nobody has opened it since march. my aunt in toronto bought all six copies on bandcamp with her card that only works through the vpn and a friend in ontario who is an archivist of pre-revolution ephemera and scanned her grandmother's photographs at night to understand what she is buying. she writes long sentences because it is the one place where her sentences get long, watching a turkish dizai dubbed into persian with total sincerity while i sit here making field recordings no one asks for
