animation diary

animation is, or has to be
to some degree
alchemy
the audience has to believe
or to suspend their belief
long enough to think
that these scraps of paper
these blots of ink
are anything worth listening to
worth watching for humanity
what keeps us fixed to
images on walls
cave paintings to
computer generated flat screen fish tanks
these mutterings in paper
to which i am charging ahead
to the end
to the can i quit
to the that's all folks
anything but blowing ignoring newspaper
the sound is a bit of it
all those sound effects with my mouth
trying to sell it with my mouth
trying to
with color
with speed
