How Do You Say It, Boet Sam? Let's Dream.
People feel a lot of things for their friends. But I get to feel something for my friends, on a daily basis, that I think is rare. Pride. I get to feel this because my friends are relentlessly doing exceptional things.
Some of them are directing shows (that NEED to be directed) in two and a half weeks. Some of them are majoring in environmental studies just to save the earth. Some of them stand in front of a four-hundred person audience until every person is happy. Some of them refuse baby-sitting money just to show their love for the little girl they’re babysitting. And some of them were on the radio last Wednesday to perform poetry.
Okay, one of them was. Sarah M’in F’in Kay. Sarah performed two poems on WBAI’s City Watch: Subway and Jellyfish. She did both beautifully. On the show, Sarah kept the company of two-time National Slam Champion Roger Bonair-Agard and Bob Holman, “a central figure in the reemergence of poetry in our culture”. Holman, Bonair-Agard, and Kay are all Def Poets.
