Today, as an act of sympathetic magic, I used a cassette-tape of Patti Smith’s debut album Horses to record myself walking all the way around the lagoon. I was attempting to conjure the swan by recording over music associated with the bird while I was completely encircling the largest body of water in Humboldt Park. I am listening back to the tape to detect the swan.

The wind goes boom, boom. And maybe white wings go cutting through the clouds.
