six minutes of audio

by

Doug Larson

"Quincy, do you remember when you stood over me?
You were so hungry
You should have eaten me, but you didn't
Thanks for not eating me, Quincy"

Timothy Treadwell

six minutes or six hours
it doesn’t matter, really
a lifetime in compact audio
raw and wild child now
hold your ears remember?
it gets a little disturbing here
raw and wild under an arctic sun that disappears
to moonlight on the tundra
but remember
hush now
there really are monsters, baby
but don’t be lookin’ under your bed
they’re only in your head now
it’s okay I think they’re dead now
you can listen to the static dream
of monsters in the attic
(screams) and more
then silence and a story
hush now
here’s a bedtime story
perhaps a little gory child
but that’s the way it happens baby
out there in the wild, child
sometimes that’s the way life goes
the way it ebbs and flows
when you’re out there
and you gotta get out there
you know
in spring there is no snow
hush now don’t be frightened
they’re only footprints
muddy footprints
bloody footprints covered
by the snow

"If Quincy had eaten me, good, 'cause he's a nice bear."

Timothy Treadwell
