Poetry Slam 5/12/2006

Thornwood Poetry Slam at Lincoln Oasis with Zack and Patti and Jess and these teenage poets.  This is so perfectly absurd watching young-full-of-creative-goodness language artists spit their pain and fierce convictions, love and intuitions, rants and hater amunition at the McDonalds Highway Oasis.  This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime-crazy-glorious-experience.  Two ancient Gary guys belting out oldies while silver-haired stewardesses dance with our TW brothas and sistas of piff.  So sweet to see them mixin together, sharing their genius, baring their souls, appreciating each other.  This language thing is POWERFUL... STEAMROLLER POWERFUL...rollin me right over into jelly-joy. They are doing the Coco Cabana Conga!  Thank you for sharing the gift of this night with me!
