| the commonest many fester [This is a playem: or team play/poem. One team is responsible for each column. The player on the far left begins by reading the first line for Team A, another player then does the same for Team B. Play proceeds from left to right, each player reading one line. Underlined lines are read in unison by the entire team. At the end of the poem, the whole process is repeated in reverse, starting with the player on the far right and ending back on the first line. A capitalist version can also be played, wherein individual performers receive a score, as in a poetry slam. Anarchists and situationalists are free to reshuffle or improvise.] |
