Trapped between midnight and the sunset's shadow

The Lizard Lounge was very refreshing. Even if the crowd is seemingly wack-at-first-sight, things have a way of surprising you. Abena, the featured poet from DC, was aight. The open mic was very dope. And as always, Iyeoka said some stuff that had me (internally) on the brink of tears.

It definitely felt damn good to be up on that stage though. I stumbled through the same piece that I wrote in Carter Park for Blackout back in July. I even penned another joint while Conscious and I chilled at a back table. But I'll save that for the next time. And the one thing I need to do is try and record some of these things because the Jeff Robinson Trio seriously blazes cats with some ill background instrumentals. Word.

just imagine you're at a family reunion, and everyone in the house (family or friend) has to perform something. butterflies be damned...
