I took this picture at the Scoot Inn, in Austin. I read it about 50 times alternating between rage and confusion.
I took this picture at the Scoot Inn, in Austin. I read it about 50 times alternating between rage and confusion. What the FUCK is a poetry slam? More to the point, why the fuck is poetry slam? I feel like a Jamaican fuming over the price of mangos in America when I see ads for these things. They are the ultimate beehives in my collective sonnets! Do we really need to make poetry sound extreme? I just see a piece of writing with rollerblades on when I think POETRY SLAM! A room of salon-dreads, brand new back- to-school clothes, squinting eyes, hand crafted jewelry and nodding heads. It’s like a C.S.I. club on steroids.
STOP SLAMMING! STOP MOSHING!
Look at this. JESUS! I can’t even understand these people it doesn’t even sound like English!
I can’t follow you then i can and then I’m like WTF are you talking about then I laff of my chair.

her bitching about paparazzi and michael jackson™ makes me “laugh of my chair” too. zee ansir ish bloeing in zee vind! man, I’m letterallay laughing at my chair now!… fuckin’ chair.
“beehives in my collective sonnets” ??!! Now THAT’S poetry.
i wrote POETRY SLAMS = SINGLE FOREVS in the bathroom at the victory (home of poetry slams) and it started a hugemongous war with poetry twinks that was eventually painted over, i have pics, basically, ungh shut up.
Damn – the shit we let cute young girls get away with. Can you imagine if some middle-aged German dude was trying to pull off the same “rap”; what kind of abuse he’d be receiving here.
scoot inn is very controversial and supposedly racist, that why its a poetry slam and not Def Poerty Jam….
yo! watch me flip and rip on this freedom tip
