poetry slam

i found this on a friend's myspace. i was initially offended by it, i wasn't sure if someone was trying to take advantage of the person's handicap. but i watched it more and really listened to what was being said. as the poem was being spoken i really began to think about who was leading and who was following. the first speaker seemed to be the one that was leading at first, because she always says the line first. but as the poem progressed i became interested in how the first speaker would say a line and what it meant in reference to the second speaker. even after viewing this video a few times, i still don't know how serious it is, mainly only because of the "ad" that is at the end of the video. whether or not it is a spoof, i still found it interesting in reference to this weeks readings. but more on that later!
