So tonight in Oberlin there will be the first (or at least I think) Poetry Slam[fest] with a whole lot of Spoken word and slammers from Cleveland and elsewhere on campus...
I think I may do it. And not that I need a reason, but here's why.
A lot of times I find it hard to articulate myself like this. Just writing. And performing. I've written poetry and songs for a long time...and now I'm starting to wonder if it's time to start performing. I mean yeah I might perform an impromptu song or two at Soul Session or something like that...but for some reason, this feels different. Maybe cause it's actually the first time that I would perform something that is written. Permanent. Already forever out in the universe that has some part of me in it/around it. With Soul Session it's like whatever I did I not only don't remember too well, but never seemed 'mine' to begin with because I never wrote it down. So with this being said...wish me luck. There are already some folks in the atmosphere that want to cut me off at the knees. So maybe this is a way of saying "f*ck you".
