I'd love to perform poetry on the pnyx. Although a smaller more intimate audience is always better imo, I'm sure we can gather tightly together.

I'd have to focus on my audience and remind myself to not blither on and on ... ad nauseum. No need to put them to sleep.

The repetition of rhyme, rhythm and reason can become a lullaby. Perhaps a loud joyful ululation instead of a pregnant pause to get their blood flowing?

Although "estoy embarasado" might wake them up!

I'm just meshugge enough to do that.

Pnyx [p.n.i.ks] is an actual hill in Athens; pronounce each letter. Blither and ululation can be looked up. "Embarasado" means pregnant not embarrassed ... as many a man has been embarrassed to find out. "Meshugge" means crazy. Don't mess with me or you'll find out.

I chose these out of hundreds of favorite words. I like how they sound. I've known them for years.
