Mojo was a no go

After the SF Public Library's Smash the Church, Smash the State book panel (which was inspiring in every way), I headed over to do what I haven't done in years--read at an open mic. I didn't do it because the place didn't seem to engender, say, seriousness about poetry. These poems need attention to be paid and so I couldn't risk (maybe too strong a word) sharing this enterprise where it wouldn't be considered, really considered.

Headed to the Castro after that and there was a guy on the street with a typewriter writing poems for a contribution. Maybe I should consider setting up a feti(sh)ame table with my typewriter.
