First Beat Poet Reading

I went to the local coffee shop tonight for an open mic night. It started out with these older guys playing songs and it was just chil. Maybe like 15 people there. I was nervous for a while until I just started sanging along with the band. It was just chil. I got up to the mic. The whole time I was just eating the mic... and it wasn't mine. hahaha And I'm sick... pretty sure I might have killed someone. WHo knows. I wasn't too nervous reading. Actually I wasn't apathetic or anything. I was just reading my stuff. First time so; I need to work on delivery, slowing down, and just opening into my own words and just grabbing hold of them. We'll just see how it goes down the road. Hitting up like 3 or 4 coffee shop's open mic nights over break.
