The Forgotten Poet
Tonight, I went to a poetry reading with Christie. It was a great night. I had to resist the urge to scrawl haunting lines on napkins and make them into Away messages and hang them on my wall, and try to own pieces of the night. I forced myself to just let all the words flow through me. I got up and read, which I haven't done since I changed my major to theatre. I read "My Mom is Gay in Normal Illinois," and "Speechless." I was the last poet to read, which was hateful... And I wanted to go with Christie and co. to Lee's afterwards, but Christie was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch a bus back to campus, since it was getting late.
For the first time in a very, very long time, I questioned my decision to change my major to theatre. I know that I don't love theatre the way some people do (namely Josh). I know I love it because it's a great way to bring words to life... but so are poetry readings... *sigh8
When I got home, I saw IM's from Dan and from Seth. Seth - if you're reading this, I tried to e-mail you at both of your addresses, but I guess you didn't get either of those. Please try calling me again. You could probably reach me if you called Tuesday (tomorrow) night or anytime next week.
