Godspeed, Danny.

I’m glad I got to see him one last time.

Crazy Poetry Day

So let’s see:

–Two assemblies at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School this AM with a host of student writers as well as Harlem125, Christopher Johnson, and Bobby Gibbs. Enthusiastic crowds that totaled about 1200 kids over two assemblies. Cool.

–Spent a long but fun evening at the Captain of the Ship Invitational Slam at the Vernon, hosted by Bobby in his usual genial drunk style. Christopher Johnson won and got to wear the Captain’s hat for the rest of the night.

I sacrificed before the final round and scored a thirty — high score of the night. Nice to know I can still pull one off once in a while.

Off to bed. No poems today…I’m poemed out.
