Please enjoy "No one understands me" by D.J. Rozell, a multilingual poem that plays with the ever-changing tides of online translators.

Artist statement: Unless the reader is a world-class polyglot, translation of the poem will be necessary. As the poem progresses, each line becomes more linguistically separated from English. The reader interacts with the poem by pasting each line into a translation app (e.g., Google Translate). Because translation apps tend to evolve over time, the poem is dynamic.
