"Sports," a Dadaist sound poem by Victor Packer.

As baseball nears its autumnal climax and football retakes the field, we bring you the inimitable Victor Packer's take on America's obsession with sports. As usual, WLTH's one-man Yiddish-radio division and sound poet extraordinaire had no lack for words. Poem translated by Henry Sapoznik.
