Just as there are paronyms, so there are 'parophones', sounds that resemble one another and flock together.  The Present’s Presents offers some of these.  They are born of virtually nothing, hurtle down the degrees of the scale as they arpeggiate, wail on the quiet, agree on the essentials, listen to one another intimately, breathe en route, band together once more and tell each other at any moment – between nostalgia for the future and premonitions of the past – stories of the present instant.
