Tonight @ The Queen Bee: GET ON THE MIC! with Jim Moreno 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. $10 “I chase the setting sun hoping not to lose it, Stupid me. Exhausted, I turn to watch the rising full moon, Chasing me.” Buddhist Dharma Quote The Great Consolation Get off the sofa and GET ON THE MIC! Get out of the shadows and get in the spotlight! Change your solitude to community. Remember youre a student and a teacher Youre life will never be perfect, all the bills paid, the relationship comfy, school complete, the laundry done. If you want to be a writer, a poet, start now, not tomorrow, Your performance will never be perfect but you can become more polished even frolic Your writing is not blocked; you need to fill up, fill up with people, fill up with practice, with new ideas, with community. Weve got work to do and have some fun and goosebumps too. Your poetry can be that good. Your poetry is that good. Your voice is medicine for you. Your voice, the way you see things, you voice is medicine for the world. You are here tonight because prose is not enough, You are here tonight because profit is not enough, You can only live with observable truths. Poetry is like that. How can we access these truths? Poetry. We live with unobservable spirit, Poetry is the great consolation, One with your spirit. Your spirit: Invisible, Like radio waves of compassion Poetry is my sunrise and sunset, Poetry is the goddess of the heart, The quiet reflective light of the moon. Receiving this light I breathe, and I―the stupid one―chase the setting sun. Jim Moreno Winter 2013
