until- ayisha knight- def poetry

[elmoloveftl]

Take note of the woman in the front row. It takes THREE people to do this performance. The two on stage, and the one in the front row who is signing what is spoken so Ayisha Knight can stay in sync with what she can't hear. Lots of people talk about working together "outside the box", about collaborative arts, but never will understand.

[MelGreenSpokenWord]

This is a beautiful expression of art

[niangne]

that was so beautiful how they clapped for her

I'd hit it! But I'm concerned about her levels of retard strength. Her vag may just be able to rip a guys schlong off.

[KayMay1224]

[raii16]

[deetardeded]

I work with deaf people, the ending appalause is an applause for the deaf since they cant hear you.

[markofellow]

inspirational. it just goes to show that we take for granted what we are able to do.

[stupidllama38]

I loved the silent applause at the end.

[ncurry09]

[riagomez06]

this is my teacher!!!! shes my asl teacher. shes great :-)

[feydria]

yours, too? Ayisha is the first teacher I learned ASL from. I doubt I would have loved it so much, or learned it so well, were it not for her. She's amazing.

[oORockMyHoleOo]

gosh what beautiful women!!! Strong, couragous. I am so glad they do what they do!!!

and just for the record I did cry alittle at the end. ^_^

[ThatBitchEve]

beautiful - i will never be the same

[liteupgnome]

I watched this with both the sound and without and trust me the poem is much more beautiful in Sign Language. The poem has alot more meaning with just the signs and without the signs. The poet herself is Deaf and it was written in Sign Language first. its definatly one of my favorites

[pacificYO]

haha i liked how they did the Deaf applause at the end. does anybody know if this was written down in english first? because [to me anyways] the translation sounded more beautiful than the signed version.[but that might be because i was struggling to keep up haha]

[Frostypeanut]

For the record, I got about 20 words out of the whole poem, lol. Don't worry about it.

[Martinalutherking]

I thought I was crazy, this girl said "it dont take that long to buy no stamps"...LOL....she is right about some of these women out there...I liked this

[Frostypeanut]

Wrong poem, yo.

[zebda23]

no it's not a wrong poem!!!

are you deaf man or have you lose your mind

[Martinalutherking]

thats what i'm saying!

[yupin3]

i almost cried at the end.

[CaramelV85]
