"...easy bake oven? You got a point, but dolls.."


so i was cleaning and thinking, thinking and cleaning away my thoughts and another september. ran across the HBO project, Chelle and I doing "Dollology" at the 2006 National Poetry Slam Quarterfinal bout at the Hide Out Mic Theater.

i dislike dolls, for too many reasons to explain in this post.

we went hard. that was really a good piece. that easy bake oven and knocker bocker thing was hilarious. you can really hear the crowd getting the points. funny the things we dealt with the weeks leading to that moment. funnier, despite and in spite she is a person i prolly couldn't go a week without seeing or talking to...
i was reminded of something she said... then something angel said. then brian. then i laughed. i watched the performance over and over again laughing. that was a good time.
it's funny when people get you. funnier when you get them. priceless when you get each other. thanks to all who manage to "get each other"!
"dollology, the field of study that teaches..." actually it, the poem and the process, taught me a lot.
