Waterworx onscreen text (a transcription of a
poem by Wallace Stevens)
A
Clear Day and No Memories
No
soldiers in the scenery,
No
thoughts of people now dead,
As they were fifty years
ago,
Young and living in a live air,
Young and walking in the sunshine,
Bending in blue dresses to touch
something,
Today the mind is not part of the
weather.
Today the air is clear of everything.
It
has no knowledge except of nothingness
And
it flows over us without meanings,
As if none of us had
ever been here before
And are not now: in this shallow spectacle,
This invisible activity, this sense.
