bird is the word
word is the bird
birdus wordus
bir ish wirs tha
wir birden ichst nein
das birduk sprach gestalten
vox avis regulorum
sanctum avis nostrum est dictum
ava rara thuust spiranta
mala doloro sparros
san conquista rara!
stanata oo spata nasos
sti?
questo, sti?
neqato
sparrox naxos boraxo
los lavos manos manana
vlakos dioscouros
impalos oculos bulgar
decimo comitatus
stroika!
ceau avara parl
wer da burad
bird is the word

one must read this out loud to fully immerse oneself into the piece. have you tried that, Dino? don't forget the fucking inflections.... damn, they add so much to it that you could walk away from this reborn in a lofty sort of way...
well done.

thanks! i plan to do it at a reading, but i'm not sure how people will respond. i want to incorporate appropriate gestures so people will understand it better.

tape the goddamn thing, black and white... full technicolor wash, any way to record that visually... do it hombre... get it and post it right here on S8 so others can experience this, visually and auditorially.
