http://www.ted.com The bird is the word, and everyone gets heard, as Rives recaps the most memorable moments of TED2006, with a fantastical Mockingbird lullaby. Mixing the personal with the universal in free-spirited rhyming verse, he imagines using mockingbirds to redistribute the world's underappreciated sounds. "They listen and mimic and remix what they like / they rock the mic." The magic of this piece is best appreciated after watching a range of talks from TED2006.

Rives is absolutely amazing. The way he uses words to play with ideas is incredible. I want to see him live.

Overly repeated hand motion! He is allowing his words to flow through his limbs, to express to those of us who "feel" what he says. One doesn't usually see the poet, just reads the words. Rives "overly repeated hand motion" is part of his delivery, and to me makes his poems all the more amazing.

when people move their hands its natural human nature to overt your attention directly to them. thats why ever president does it when he speaks, or anyone for that matter.

woops, i was wrong. it's not the actual sign for a flying bird, but that's what it's supposed to represent.

Rives is fluent in ASL. the repeated hand motion is the sign for a flying bird. it's the mocking bird repeating the sounds it learned.
