This is Dr. Hubert Zork, jazzz critic of the absurd, and I am here to tell you that the fictional animator Akre is on the last page of his script of animation.

Last night he found some time to animate some of the last part of his film. The animation becomes more and more abstract, until it is just the words. He did this animation yesterday and set his computer on rendering it. But his little weak computer is still rendering his construction paper scenes of the night before.

In the last episode of my commentary, I reported that his computer was taking an hour and a half to render each short shot. But that duration was necessary for some of the less complicated shots. Now it is taking more like three and a half hours for his computer to render the ten seconds shots. The construction paper must be adding so much complexity. That is what he suspects.

Anyway, it is now that time again. It is time for the Pome of the Day Project.

this is how you clap your hands
you stretch your arms out like a bird
that is how you clap your hands

this is how you ride the bus
you do not take another's seat
that is how you ride the bus

this is how you go to sleep
you turn your head into a tree
that is how you go to sleep

this is how you read a book
you run some water over stones
that is how you read a book

this is how you see yourself
you do not say a single word
that is how you see yourself

Written in sincerity and with fingers,
Dr. Hubert Zork
