I saw a spoken word thing, by project voice.
It made me not want to cry. Not necessarily for the content. But the mere existence. I have written poetry, I have read poetry. But I have not written poetry to be read. It is an entirely different experience. Body motions connect a whole other layer to an already rich content. Articulations and gesticulations carve out harmonious synchronized patterns on a stage.
Anyway, I'm just running away with myself a little here. You've got to try things even if you're not good at them yet. How else do you get better but with practice?
I think I want to have a poem that is meant to be spoken. It would be awesome. Well the first one wouldn't be awesome, maybe not even the next. But eventually it would be awesome!
That's lame.
