that one drunk of her own regrets singing songs like pastimes to slured crowed of friends.
last night i danced the streets of taxi cabs and 18 legal drinking ages
picked pokets of vodka and beer
spilt wine on my pride multiple times
i was THAT girl
surrounded by women too beautiful to be friends
trading advice and stories like elementary boyfriends
spoke of u-hauls and mistakes
and how to break hearts gently
but i ws THAT girl
and it fucking rocked!!!
Hi Jamaica,
ReplyDeleteI had a chace to see your performance at the Calvary Church in Hawaii this month. It moved me profoundly.
I study Asian American Literature in Japan.
I am much interested in you. I have got some of your performance from Youtube. But I cannot get lyrics of your poem.
I am very sorry I cannot catch all your words from the video.
I would like to get three poems (in written words), Kumulipo which I saw at the church, 1893 and Kaona.
I am going to study them and introduce your performance and poems in Japan.
Will you tell me how to get them?
