1.
Spoken word artists
Should expect people to think
They don’t have “real jobs.”
2.
Some are good poets
That can rock a microphone
Bringing words to life.

The stereotypical
Sing-song flowery language
Belittles the craft.
4.
Captain Kirk’s rhythm
Narrates their childhood trauma
To rooms of strangers.
5.
Spoken word artists
That ain’t the best of poets-
Compensate with speech.
