ReplyDeleteI think it could be mostly be considered as stand up rather than poetry because of the witty and humorous stories he relates in between the two poems ( still can't believe the F OFF one though lol) and it also felt like he spent less time reading his poems.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, while he was reading 'kid' I felt like if you just added some drums and a nice base, it could just as well turn into a rap. seriously, the guy has got some rhythm in his voice.
