A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Ken from Hyde, did I ever mention the chicken kept in the yard of the guy who lived across the street (and whose unsecured Wi-Fi we used) here in the Bronx? And where I used to live, about a quarter mile from here as the chicken doesn't fly, someone in the neighborhood had a rooster whose crowing scared our dog.
