an unrehearsed universe

¿hablas ingles?

         the stressed unstressed weighted emphasis slippy dipthong triphthong vowels running glottal stop into unlettered consonants acute accent accentuating foreigness

         stamping out sibilant fricatives contorting tongue and teeth to “thee apple”, “thuh cream” an experiment in transmutation each alchemical translation disguised as success

         losing heritage by the meter teeter to theater melted queso onto grilled cheese giving gracias pidiendo please

until

         you speak it so well
         I would never have known
