WORD ON THE STREET - FORT STREET

10/22/2015

And now for something completely random...

Today as I was painting a storefront on a busy street, conversations kept walking by behind me. But I could only hear a sentence, or half a sentence, if a truck wasn't driving by at the time. After a while I began to notice out of the random chatter a few words that were loud enough to discern, and then just as quickly the words faded and disappeared. It was pretty cool. Then I began listening for them and recording a few. I wondered...did these random conversations build a story? What was the narrative on Fort Street today? It was a fun way to engage with my environment while working. I imagine it might be similar to the way a blind person might experience a walk down the street - how sounds become more noticeable and create a picture. These quotes are written down in order in which I heard them...

His mom is turning 94...
…you can’t read Sarah, she’s always… 
..at the same time, its not something I really want...
they try to spend all the money before the election
you should stop and take a break, eat your sandwich 
Hi, How are you doing? Come on in.
…yah and you will get around it because its when she wants it...
…get on the bus to the ferry...
...I see now that its not going to be possible…
…and then we’ll nap again on Sunday...
...too bad the fishing is out, well actually the coho are still happening - you just gotta go deeper out into the channel
...I had last night, and this wasn’t the first time, …
hey what do you got there? 
fish hooks
...You are going to be the new Methuselah, you’re going to live…
…we didn’t get any gift bonuses last year…
…there has to be residency…
...can you share mommy?
…and then he woke up with kisses…
…what do you mean there’s no end?  there’s gotta be an end…
…OK, well its like, ‘you’re stupid’…
…sounds good. I love you. bye.
