The Daily Boost #483

"We're mostly water and ideas aching to leap"

Today’s poem is “Small Worlds,” a spoken word performance by the powerhouse Vanessa German. I was unable to locate a transcript of the poem, which is altogether appropriate. Vanessa’s performance reminds us that all poetry was originally delivered straight to the heart by the voice.

(My thanks to Vanessa German via TEDxTalks. Click here for a different performance of the poem in which it serves as a soundtrack for the video that, here on this stage, played in the background.)
