about

Lyn came up with the theme of “If Womankind Had Built This Transportation” while riding BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) on a trip to the DeFeo Foundation.

lyrics

in the tunnel made-up winds are
funneling towards Brooklyn
white noise focused, nameless voices
calling out wordlessly
overhead the train rolls so loud for so long
still trapped in man’s creation
overhead the train rolls so loud
and those white noise voices always ask if

Womankind had built this transportation
would it be more elegant?
would it have hung suspended mid-air
and not tunneled through the rock and clay?
they ought not tunneled through it anyway
if Womankind had had a say
in how these trapped souls white-noise voices
came into play
