迷路に近付いた途端、着信音が鳴る。発信元はヨーコオノではなく到着した友人からであった。その後響き渡った爆発音は館内を行進する鼓笛隊であった。横浜の倉庫でクリスチャン・マークレーの映像「the clock」に没頭し、渋谷で荷物を置き忘れ探し出し力尽きる。「私はどんな音がするのかな？」ここ数日頭の中でずっと「Hyper Ballad」が鳴っている。

We live on a mountain　
Right at the top　
There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe again with you
It's real early morning no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe again with you

（Bjork「Hyper Ballad」）
