Greetings

Greetings

How numerous the mechanics
and work required
to send the voice

into the world.

We need the greeting
to hold the ear in place.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today,
hello,

is this thing on,
I said GOOD MORNING everyone.

Before I tell you the message,
first,
I have to say,

I see you there.

  2. I've heard there's a greeting that's common and traditional somewhere in Africa:

    "I see you."

    "I am here."

    Can anyone help me with the particulars of this? Is it really an African greeting? Where in Africa?
    Am I the only one who finds it unusually compelling?
