accent
mcdougall
it uh, always seems to add just a little bit
what i mean is, it makes what is there, just a little better
but uh, i guess that’s the whole purpose
You know, the whole meaning of it

I’ve always liked the English for that

log burning fire i had a ski-with-me lesson today with a 6 year-old boy and his mom, both from scotland. they are living in pittsburgh (squirrel hill) for 2 years.

of course, their accents were irresistible.

the mother looked like miranda july and acted like a u.k. version of her.

ancasa.reyn i grew up with a mom
who was born in the bronx
then lived in staten island
but who moved
to toledo
where my chicago born dad
grew up
with three sisters
born in indiana
one in illinois
one in minnesota
a brother
his best friend
also born in chicago
and another brother
born in toledo

of course
mom was the only one
with an accent

norma was normer
coffee was cwawfee
dorothy was dahruhthee
envelope was ahnvuhlope
the noun not the verb
i also say ahnvuhlope

i think my love
for hearing
and trying to
imitate accents
from around the country
and the world
stems from living
with one

because
of course
i have none
