The Windshield
The rain a ribbon of warmth
On the windshield
The reflection in the glass
Bends to one side
As if war had come
To lay us down
You know those birds
They fly in a big cloud
They don't have any words
But when they talk
They say, “Oh, what are we ?
Do you see that cloud ?"
It could be
You're out of your mind
The wind
The smoke The heat
The little hairs on the back of my head
Recognise you.
When I was a child
I played with a dead Snowball
Now I sit by the window
And look out at the world
It's like watching a movie
There's graffiti all over the car
And broken glass in the trunk
and a stack of plastic milk bottles
I'm kind of interested to see
Where this light is going to take me
At this time of year
Water is fresher than snow
Plus it doesn’t seem right to burn
What little fire we’ve left
On these pale embers of ourselves
And all the while our minds keep drifting
To that landlocked city of ours.
All the things you left on your bed
Like pictures of people you’d love to meet
At the crack of dawn.
LAURIE ANDERSON APRIL 2022

The Newspaper
Texte de Laurie Anderson et David Linx
Musique de Evan Ziporyn, David Linx et Bruno Letort
Voice 1 : The Newspaper,
You’re the only one who knows what's real
And what isn’t
That's why I'm telling you all this
And not just recalling
The places I've been and what I've seen
Voice 2 : An avalanche of absence and emptiness under heavens of confusion, we now talk in bumper stickers and yet we are, still, taken aback…
Voice 1 : Why aren't we allowed to leave as often as we want
For all the work we've put into
These latrines, these cemeteries, this war
VOICE 2 : both shocked and in awe of all the noise that comes with lies. But beauty is elastic and comes in unrecognizable shapes.
VOICE 1 : So listen closely to these newspapers and magazines
They're full of the news, correct?
VOICE 2 : But what becomes of us when we spend all our time trying not to lose. One can’t win when one doesn’t lose.
VOICE 1 : We lay our heads down on the newspapers
VOICE 2 : Very much
VOICE 1 : And pull the blanket up over our heads
And in training for war, one of the first things
that General Macon did
VOICE 2 : Very much like rhythm can only be felt,
VOICE 1 : Was to burn all the newspapers.
VOICE 2 : Danced to and on, when it’s safe, nothing is safe.
VOICE 1 : So give us back our names
We'd like to see them read aloud.
VOICE 2 : Peace comes only with the acceptance that nothing is safe,
VOICE 1 : Aloud.
VOICE 2 : That everything can be lost,
VOICE 1 : Aloud.
VOICE 2 : Any second of any given day
