Today

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!
