Long long I lay in the sands <br /> <br />Sounds of trains in the surf <br />in subways of the sea <br />And an even greater undersound <br />of a vast confusion in the universe <br />a rumbling and a roaring <br />as of some enormous creature turning <br />under sea and earth <br />a billion sotto voices murmuring <br />a vast muttering <br />a swelling stuttering <br />in ocean's speakers <br />world's voice-box heard with ear to sand <br />a shocked echoing <br />a shocking shouting <br />of all life's voices lost in night <br />And the tape of it <br />someow running backwards now <br />through the Moog Synthesizer of time <br />Chaos unscrambled <br />back to the first <br />harmonies <br />And the first light<br /><br />Lawrence Ferlinghetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-vast-confusion/
