Summer 2022 Highlights: An American Poet in Paris

On June 30, I read at the Culture Rapide in Paris, France.

It was my first time reading in another country.

I wasn't able to read as a feature. 

When I got there to sign up for the open mic, I was put on last. 

I gave it my all. I might not be back for five years. Maybe longer.

Maybe I went too long. Maybe I went overboard.

I don't care.

I did what I had to do to make my spot count.

That was my only option.

I think it worked.

Someone asked if I was going to be around for an event next week.

Sadly, I had to leave that Monday.

I will not make that mistake if there is a next time.
