I hate that g******n cadence with a passion. Is it laziness? Or do they all really want to sound the same? I never wanted to sound like others.
Well, except the Four Horsemen.
Once you have that SOUND and CADENCE
down,
read a few recent newspapers, a People Magazine, Wired, Vogue, Pride and Prejudice the Goat-Footed Balloon Man and any given page of Finneganās Wake,
then put your brain on AUTOPILOT and let your inner Markov-bot
take OVER
keeping JUST ENOUGH sense of presence to jump up on some piece of handy
furniture
and not FALL OFF
and YOU
ARE
a SHOE
in
to WIN
probably not the PRITZKER Prize or the NOBEL prize
but SOME sort of prize
or at least
a couple
of free
DRINKS.

They honestly and truly do not all have that cadence. There are some gods-awesome fantastic spoken word poets on this continentā¦ ones who do some creative and compelling stuff with the mouths and bodies. The Youth Speaks poetry slam in San Francisco (do not miss the semi-finals! February or March-ish if memory serves) is a notable exception to the tasty-like-old-cardboard North American affected spoken word voice.
And please let us not forget that she played an utterly brilliant Kate from Taming of the Shrew in ShakespeaRe-Told. Oh dear gods that was a rib-splitting yucks-festā¦ at least as funny as both the Airplane! movies combined.
