Basics of Akkadian & Japanese

All my words
went quiet
I listen to trees
laughing in sunshine
softly falling leaves

quiet hum
of lost syllables

Some scribble of Foster Brooks as mentioned on the last JP Special when ‘s speech started to wobble on odd syllables https://t.co/6Wxz8IjRtz. Brooks’ drunk act is gentle comedy but damn funny. Check out the roast of Don Rickles - https://t.co/kUBh1sQbaD
