Thanks Poet in Law

This was our stage..... it didn't matter if there were one or a million people present. We performed for ourselves and each other. Leaving nothing to the imagination but the words that lingered thickly in the air... painting each picture as if we were verbal picassos or van goughs....
" let's embarrass the universe with our love, 'causing even venus to blush..."
" i spit at 15..."
"driving along america's lies.."
"you can reach me by railway.."
"larva morphs into moths, 'cuz butterflies.."
five amazing poets hitting the street doing what poets do best........ thanks guys.. despite my cooties, it was so very cool......
