“this piece is inspired by a conversation that I had with my dear friend Mordecai
I’m probably picking and choosing and paraphrasing for poetic purposes, but he said that I make more sense when I’m on stage than I do in my day to day life
in my defense, I was very tired, so most of my mind was on the nap I was gonna take the next day

I seem really calm and collected right now because I sat down at 1:54 am monday morning (which should count as sunday night, in my opinion), and dumped a bunch of my thoughts on paper where I could see them
me being on stage is just me re-thinking out loud, which is why it used to be so scary
around this time last year, I was up here for the first time, re-thinking my thoughts
one of the pieces I performed was about what I do when my thoughts get too loud, which is poet for “what I do when I have a panic attack”
and now I’m back, feeling calm and collected because I have my thoughts written out
