I say something and you as the audience have the power.

If you laugh, it's a joke.

If you don't laugh, it's a poem.

It's your choice.

And I love that so much because either way, it's a gift.

Either way, I am an artist making art.

You are just deciding which art form it should be classified into.

So that's what I aspire to do is to some version of Mike's.

Yeah, it was a silent response to a moving poem.

The poet Sarah Kay is the most moving and beautiful live performer I have ever seen perform.

And when she is reading a poem live on stage, she tours the world.

You are so 100% in the palm of her hand.

And she creates these beautiful images, but she makes you laugh and cry.

And Sarah has this metaphor that she talks about sometimes, which is that a lot of people are trying to go through the world in a way that is cool.

They want to be perceived as cool.

And so they cross their arms over their chest so like nothing can reach them.

And that she wants to walk with her hands open so that she is able to catch everything, which means that you catch the sorrow and the heartbreak too.

And that form of communication I find to be so moving and so aspirational.

Oh, I'm going to say presence, delight, and attention.

So being where you are, having fun, and then paying attention to the person who you're communicating with.
