Enjoyed after getting past the language leap. My ignorance, apologies.
Some varied layouts which were interesting. The pace change in voices to suit made a change from traditional readings.
Great video graphics and sound effects. Unfortunately I see no English translation in the first three minutes.
English begins around 6.26 into the Hussain/Rosenstock film. Making a change from cherry blossom, we have e.g.
“Talk stand shit
eat sleep—”
flies walking on my nose
A hardon in New York
a boy
in San Francisco
I felt a breeze below my waist and realized
that my fly was open
Another year
has passed — the world
is no different

Thank you Keith. Will apply some patience.
