Happy Birthday, Angelo D'Amato Jr.
Come back to Stone Soup tonight so I can make it up to you for messing up your open mic slot last year.

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION: Stone Soup Croutons, 8-12-20: Take Stock
Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here. To paraphrase Lorne Michaels, this poem doesn't go up because it's ready, it goes up because it's Friday morning.
Melissa Castillo Planas gave us an excellent feature on Wednesday. I am starting to like features starting off our sessions. It's also interesting when they take control of my poem the same way they take control of the open mic and inspire reactions from those who were listening.
I've been thinking about the prospect of moving and (because I'm not wealthy) living in a neighborhood where I feel like an intruder. The word I'm dancing around is "gentrification "That's what fed this week's piece. Thanks for reading.

Melissa Castillo Planas Features at Stone Soup Poetry, 8-12-20
Dr. Melissa Castillo Planas returns to feature at our new weekly online
gathering. Apologies to the open mic (particularly Angelo D'Amato Jr.)
for my offline life interfering when I forgot to mute my microphone
while I was dealing with a home issue.
Almost Forgot to Wave This Week
Much love to Melissa Castillo Planas for featuring at Stone Soup last night. Stay tuned for announcements for the rest of August and the beginning of September. We're still going strong!
