It seems a poem about self-affirmation in a world verging on some form of machine apocalypse, yet the statement of selfhood at the end is very proud, strong, sure amid uncertainty. While you talk of obfuscating voices, there's a voice that rises above the haze, and it speaks of solid awareness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-84432923723211751742012-05-02T19:53:12.813-04:002012-05-02T19:53:12.813-04:00Love your imagery here, and word choices but I rea...Love your imagery here, and word choices but I really, really dig the structure.

Yeah, the English is the one I did the most with, seeing I feel I can do it pretty well, then scottish, Irish, but I think my scottish and irish get mixed up a lot, then the other one I know was my own voice, which only appeared briefly. I love that you mentioned the H and T aspects of pronunciation, I'll probably play around with that idea.
