Images that move me

Thursday we had voice class. It was a doozy. We first had to find lines of text from a poem that we really enjoy. I chose America by Allen Ginsberg.

"America when will you be angelic?
America when will you take off your clothes
After all it is you and I that are perfect and not the next world"

We whispered this text to our classmates and let it build and affect them till they were saying it. We did this in groups. I was in a group of three with my friends, Ana Mirtha from Spain and Diogo from Portugal. They both had poetry in their mother tongue and it was beautiful. Portuguese is very powerful while the Spanish was light and beautiful. Maybe it was the speakers but it was really interesting and delightful.

That evening a group of us went to the pub down the street, The North Pole, and had drinks and talked. I got home late.....
