Found a pile of my old notebooks from when I used to bother to write things down. For example:

Aug 08, 2010 18:58

"He swings a ragged leg forward to take a step into the street. Left knee locks on contact of once red high-tops with rain-soaked pavement. He pitches forward on the useless limb with a pitiful cry and lands on his face like several bags of trash dropped carelessly from a second story window. I draw closer. Pigeons break free of orange peels and shreds of plastic bags. Shake coffee grounds off their mottled wings and begin to pick for food among the remains. As I approach I see a few coke cans under wet pieces of the mound. These I grab: a nickel apiece. A cat watches from under a rusting '76 Pacer wagon. Time to move on. "

1994?

Others are mostly semi-technical gibberish:
1-2 [152] 0/bassline
3-6 [149] steady
7-10 [150]
11-14 [149] steady
15-18 [148]
19-22 [151] choppy bassline

And so forth.

I think it's a quick reference list for patterns from my old DR-660 drum machine, but I'm not sure.

Others are clearly poetry or lyrics or something:

"Leave my mark
on this world
slow bruise spreading
like spilled ink
left unchecked
a signature
like a sledgehammers kiss"

"I know you only did
what you thought you had to
from your virus eye view:

I am. I am here, here in the world.
The world of paths; ever present, ever branching
smaller and further."

More as I feel like typing it in...
