Scope and Contents

Ferrando composed a poem with five words in Spanish, e.g. hablar, bostezar, pensar, respirar, and sentir meaning to speak, yawn, think, breathe, and feel in English. He specified puntuation signs including an opened and closed parentheses, dashes, and opened circles adjacent to each of these words as a non-verbal code. In the three subsequent panels only the signs are used to convey the performance of the poem. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
