The show at the Lizard Lounge last night was good. I knew Reggie Gibson was ill and he really did his thing as the featured poet. The illest part is how he was performing one of his pieces and one woman asked if all of his stuff was original material. Perplexed, I said 'I would hope so." So anyways, this one particular poem sounds familiar because it actually is "Brother to the Night," the poem that Larenz Tate used in the movie Love Jones as "A Blues For Nina."
Capping the night off were hours of casual chilling in the West End (downtown Boston) with some friends, both old and new. Note to self: Never tell a group of complete strangers that your first orgasm was at a swimming pool in the Bronx when you were 10 years old. Second note to self: If MH says, "Don't step up," please don't step up. Feisty ain't the word, son.
And lastly, too bad that my man JimmyMo is leaving town so soon. I'm going to have to bring him out as much as possible during these last 3 weeks of his Boston residency. If only he linked up earlier, we could have tried t make his stay here much more enjoyable. But how fly is it that he's a dentist? That's some ill shT. And definitely a testament to his discipline. That has to be the best pick-up line ever; So what do you do for a living? "I do root canals." Classic.

You have to explain!!! What happened? - Never tell a group of complete strangers that your first orgasm was at a swimming pool in the Bronx when you were 10 years old.
apparently she was about to get out of the pool when one of the pumps that pushes water into the pool hit her in precisely a way that made her pause...and get back in the pool. Let's just say that everyone's face was a combination of horror, disgust, and intrigue.
hmm, I do root canals…yea that line would get my digits!..then again, I have always had a strange attraction for men in lab coats using drills ...nice blog, Pops!
