about

In the Details is from proof of the tongue, poems by Sandra Alland (McGilligan Books c. 2004)
1/ and 3/ are parts 1 and 3 of 5, presented out of context of the original text, as much spoken language is as we hear it.

lyrics

1/

In Russian and Bulgarian
the repetition of words
is considered sloppy.

You could never say:
"I saw Frank last week. After I said hello to him,
he accidentally stepped on my foot. All week I've
had a swollen foot because of Frank."

You'd have to say something like:
"I saw Frank last week. After I said hello to this man
who is my old friend, the tall male accidentally stepped
on the foot that is mine. All the past seven days, I've had
a swollen little part of my leg because of the guy I met
when we were considering suicide."

I wish I spoke Russian or Bulgarian.

How else would I ever know
you were sad?
