Spoken word poet Sarah Kay starts out, “If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she’s gonna call me Point B, because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me.
And I’m going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands, so she has to learn the entire universe before she can say, ‘Oh, I know that like the back of my hand.’ ”
I had never heard of Spoken Word Poetry until I came across this TED talk sometime last spring. WOW. I get goosebumps listening to Sarah describe the mother/daughter relationship. Check it out.
