Every month we hold a poetry slam, and there are always bits of brilliance, like this one.
“He’s escaping her volcanic perfection because
they learned to run before they could walk
and they learned to scream before they could talk
learned love is revelation
and trust is shock
but they still didn’t know whether to knock
or just walk
in.”
Oh, this is a real bit of brilliance! It just captures how it is when the heart leads and the brain tried to catch up.
