Flicker
Flicker: it’s what flames do, and wings, the wave-like undulations of flight,
Little black scalloped wave along the edge of each orange-shafted feather—
It’s night, sunset, night, sunset again, the in and out of tides, alternation of
Chaos and control. It’s the heartbeat, it’s an EEG, pink noise of neural oscillation,
Knock and kiss of the brain talking to itself—delta waves and alpha waves. In
Electronics, it’s flicker noise—crest and frequency and hiss—this endless
Rise and fall of quasar light and music, of everything in us and around us.
