Hi, this is the Exorcist speaking on 2 Poetry Lounge sessions. July 25th they had the leaving party and Poetri invited up various friends to do poetry in the first half and in the second half they had the slam. The San Jose team turned up and rocked it. Deep poems. One was about a father who had to decide whether a newborn child should live or die if living meant going through life with physical problems. Another was about a guy who's sister was molested by his best friend and how he got his revenge. They injected new blood into the Lounge, I felt. Slim did a great poem on women. August 1st had Dante filling in for Poetri who went to the slam. He did a good job. Later on I found out he was Rufio in "Hook." Babu did "Squares and Rounds." One woman did a poem on the trichotomy of women which was the shortest poem I ever heard. It brought the house down. She ended on "I am a red apple. Eat me." Spiffy did a poem that ended with "a hard dick is hard to find." Dante said he was going home with both women. Dante did a great poem that broke down the Filipino history. Enlightened me. They ended the night with a freestyle session. This report was brought to you by the Exorcist. Da Poetry Lounge
