A Special Gift from Vanessa German
outside of the opera house
she asked me “if poptech
were a poem what kind of poem would it be”
and i said it would be a bridge poem
a poem of hands and hearts and blood and connective tissue
reaching across the distance wide and long
it would be
a reaching-out-to-touch poem
an imagine-that poem
a lookit-what-i-did poem
an open-mouth-in-awe poem
an open source poem
it would be
a 20minutes on the clock poem
a slow down poem
a prayer to the infinite joy of dr. victoria hale poem
a van jones for president poem
a medicine will heal poem
an andrew zolli was meant to do it poem
a where are alla the black people in camden poem
a tell the story poem
a kiss yo’ kids and call yo’ mama poem
an electricity of joy poem
a this is not a dream
but i dreamt it and here it is poem
a poem for a young lily in the arms of her father
poem in the shape of heidi’s smile
bright and wide and beautiful
as a song on the lips of the sky
even at midnight after 12 hours
on her feet in the heat of the
proverbial kitchen poem
it will be a you poem
an us poem
a we together poem
it will be
a human contact poem
a yell it out from the balcony of the opera house poem
a my gratitude is but the seed of the edge of a sea of gratitude poem
a you changed the world and i saw it poem
a one-person-at-a-time poem
it will be a risky poem
a love poem
a power of love poem
a lookit-what-love-did poem
an i-took-my-students-to-the-ocean-poem
an ah-ha poem
if poptech were a poem
it would be a poem with toenails.
