A la “beat poetry” but let’s call it “dad poetry”
If you’re wondering what that is, look no further than our competitions:
Instead of poetry slams
we’ll have poetry shuts
Obviously, each competition should start with the MC saying “I’d like to open this shut…” Then, to the (even nonexistent) lighting guy: “Hold the light steady”
If you get eliminated or don’t make the next round or whatever you “shut the bed”
They don’t really end, we just shut them down
Naturally, they’ll begin and end at a sensible time. Never during “the game.” Always plenty of parking.
And don’t think for an instant that this isn’t the kind of bullshit I couldn’t be goaded into picking up and launching. This is me, for fist’s sake, and I’m in Austin.
