Soon I’ll hear your voices, people,
and you’ll sound like Donald Duck.
I’ll hear every car horn honk,
every plink and plunk and plonk.
And you’ll sound like Donald Duck–
one voice, indistinguishable, under God.
Every plink and plunk and plonk.
Comprised of pitches and lengths,
One voice, indistinguishable, under God.
It was like free jazz there towards the end,
Just comprised of pitches and different lengths.
Soon I’ll hear your voices, people,
every immigrant, businessman, pundit.
And you all sound like Donald Duck.
(Daniel Nester)
