List Poem: Draft 1

I've recorded a lot of material for this list poem, but have been semi-wickedly sick all weekend so the draft is just a rough cut of the spoken word, without anything else attached. In the poem I'm taking a peculiar test. A test I may or may not have been avoiding in "real life" for a very long time. A test that this poem is preparing me for... maybe.

In case you're wondering/intrigued, the words I'm saying are all elements of sandwiches. The sandwiches are part of the menu at Zingerman's, where there is a monster sandwich test that I have been avoiding. My concept is that I will read the ingredients as the abbreviations, then add a layer where someone else reads the number. There will also be a layer of sounds, right now I have the sound of a pencil writing and erasing, breathing, and a recording of someone answering the phone at the Deli. I also will most likely go into the Deli and record the cash registers/ general noise and chaos . I'm thinking of adding music but I haven't been particularly inspired by anything yet and I don't want a song choice to be a "force for evil" in this project.

For feedback: clearly this is a very rough cut, but I'm wondering if reading the abbreviations as I am right now is too confusing... or does it add to the mystery and fun of this list? I'm also open to song suggestions and any layering suggestions beyond the aforementioned. I appreciate any feedback and look forward to listening to everyone's work. Ciao!
