    With all of her other poetry that I know by heart at this point, I keep wishing I could experience them for the first time again and again. So I kept delaying listening to this poem despite how incredibly excited I got when I saw it, because I know I only get a first time once and I really wanted to savor it and save it for a special occasion. It was so worth it. Now on to listening to it over and over until I commit it to memory.

    A lot of people that perform poetry just won't let go of that forced way of saying things and allow themselves to use scripted words with more natural expression. I guess they call it slam poetry because you want to slam your head or something into it.
