Because When You Type Fast It Looks Like Your Fingers Are Dancing
- An old college buddy of mind, Jayson, asked me today if I still did open mic nights. Boy was that a flashback. At some point in my journalistic pursuit I stopped writing spoken word and started reading books like, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves, The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation". Snooze.
- I then began to discuss this with Deena
- Deena:: You need to keep writing poems, I have not forgiven u for stopping by the way.
- Me:: The way I write changed I sup.pose. I was writing like if I was speaking/yelling at someone.
- Deena:: Yah you were angry before, no one wants to hear a happy poem.
- Me:: I'm a freelance writer in NY making less than the men selling umbrellas outside -- I hardly think I would write a happy poem.
