I woke up early this morning in order to go and do something called Walk the Talk. Instead of an elaborate opening ceremony poets had the opportunity to perform poetry in the community. I signed up to go perform for senior citizens. I unfortunately did not get to do the poem I had hoped to do, but I still got to do some poetry, and the whole idea behind doing poetry for the community is an excellent one. I only wish they had promoted it more. (There were only five of us performing for the seniors.)
Then I went to orientation, got some info, and this awesome shirt.
Then I went out to lunch, had some udon noodles, which were delicious. Then we went grocery shopping. With no fridge and no microwave, I somehow ended up with this fiendishly healthy batch of food.
- Granola Bars
- Raisins
- Applesauce
- Graham Crackers
- Bread
- Tuna
- Crunchy Peanut Butter
- Strawberry Preserves
- Bananas
- Apples
I also bought a reusable bag to carry it all in. I feel so damn responsible. Of course I had pizza for dinner. After that went and watched Mesa's bout. They didn't do so well score-wise, but the poetry was all awesome. Then I watched another bout. One of the poems in that bout had the beautiful word that this post is entitled. It pretty much captures that night. I really want to perform poetry now. We have a bout tomorrow (Or rather later today, so I will post the results of that as well as my various activities of the day.
This is Faldwin the Bard, signing off. Good night Madison.

Hi, Faldwin and everyone, from down here in Tucson. Good luck on today's bout!! (Do they tell poets to "break a leg," or is that just for actors?)
I'll check your blog later and pass the word(s) on to other Team Tucson fans I know.
Jerry
