Program Note:
The text and title for this piece come from a small number of messages I collected from Twitter on May 23rd 2015, the day after Ireland voted yes in a referendum for same-sex marriage. Some of the messages were poetic, beautiful, and strangely biblical in their turn of phrase. Twitter, in its transience, creates rolling waves of news activity, so I wanted to archive some of the messages from that day, and give them permanence.
