sound walk

hands, feet brushing, echoing
builds
quieter now
far away elevator
clamor of workers
cars in a hurry
metallic smash bang crash
beginning cars
squeaking brakes
differences between motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks
differences between approaching and passing cars
click of fixed gear bikes stopping
echo of construction far away
mid-range singing of electronics
vague whispers of conversation
musical air conditioner
feet
shoes
birds
radio as transition
restaurant small talk
crashing behind walls
the majority of human interaction is here
air conditioning blocking all that feels natural
trash cans rolling, louder, louden, louden
change clinking
beep of the cash register
radio and birds as transition to the outside world
cars drive by
idle engines
difference between a car passing us and us passing a car
exhale of brakes
rapid beeping of the crosswalk saying "go"
parking garage intensifies the sound of engines
some loud natural sound, grasshopper?
car noise echoes all around
door opening
transition to new, quiet place
professor small talk
echo of the stairwell
feet are slower now than when we were here before
sounds are softer now as we approach our beginning
