Vita Dervan

no yeah I mean so yeah I think I'd say
that well you know, well like not really but
so well exactly then but not, so look,
you get what I'm tryna like say, or like
yeah, no, yeah, similar to the, if you
look at it, it's sort of as if like a
wavering sinew of compressed heat,
a sour and crimson movement of the fingers
a mouth that slightly opens, or a ping!
a whirlpool flashing, though but like if it's hard
I mean it's not something I, that's it, but
if like, it's exactly like that, you, you,
I mean, like anyway, we won't, we can't
let's just, it's no, it's fine, let's just, alright?

Editors Notes:

do urm the, how do you, does it make a difference, what... ugh, when you transcribe speech into text, does it hinder the reading experience to have the uh fluff, the, no the filling what is it called ? th- what is it? there is a word isn't there? the conjunctives is that their name, no the - the words that aren't grammatically necessary. you can clip them out and you would essentially be saying the same thing, right? let me look back at what i wrote earlier - oh yeah here it is this is perfect - 'do does the inclusion of um utterances in sentences reduce the meaning of them? or are they simply a waste of reading time ----- how much should a subtitler edit out of a conversation? ----- how long should you pause when reading ... and ..... ?'
