threshold

a proscenium with no audience yet

begin where speech is only weather

ii.

the gabbery

balloons untied from an unseen bouquet

iii.

the listener's garden

type a phrase and watch it grow

whisper a phrase. press return to plant it.

iv.

eavesdrop hall

six conversations rendered as wave

v.

the mirror booth

your phrase, returned three ways

no phrase yet — return to act iii to plant one

vi.

the murmuring wall

fragments swimming past in slow water

vii.

dispersal

the bubbles deflate; only an ellipsis remains
