Sound Poem Response

My sound poem is a sort of precurser too my second project about sequence. The "poem" serves as an introduction to the narrative going to be told by my hat traveling around the world on a journey to discover much about his origins. Part of the goal of this project is to explode (at least partially) the conventions about point of view, as my narrative will be reflectively critiqued during it's delivery by myself (that is, the hat). I attempt to show this in today's sound poem as my voice frequently breaks in over top of the original narrative (which for my main project, would most likely be a different voice entirely) to attempt to show how flimsyness of the narrative. I used some white noise in my poem to highlight where the originial narrative is broken off for my "impartial" comments on myself, and I also underly the whole thing with a techno song entitled "Zombie Nation" to try and bring up some more ideas about the narrator (a zombie narrator would be awesome--or perhaps we're all zombies and that's why the hat is telling the story). Plus, I like the techno song. Lack of a rhyme scheme indicates that the narrator, like the poem, is very unconventional--because a hat speaking in rhymes is just TOO ridiculous.
