in which i am once again overwhelmed and excited

the poetry slam was last night, and it was really incredible to see Geneseo’s slam team perform. my poems were little silly whispers compared to my peers and its humbling to see the talent in our little western new york place.  it was an honor to be on the same stage (knightspot dance floor?) with them and I guess all I can do now is keep growing and learning and it will be hard, probably, but it always is and that isn’t really a bad thing.  i feel like those small animals with big eyes who cling to the backs of greater things – a bush baby?  i am a bush baby on the arms of giants and i will learn to talk about poems and not simply divide them into “great” or “really great” or “absolutely incredible” and i’ll keep writing and i think it will be an okay ride.
