I saw there were many poets in the bill before me
which normally would threaten me
quite intensely
but I noticed that most of them shared my first initial J,
except for the one whose last name started with a first initial B, which clearly meant that all the other artists
were acting as precursors to me.

Like John the Baptist for Jesus?
(I don’t really know if that works. I’m Jewish.
Don’t tell the Spanish Inquisition.)

So I think that it really makes sense for me to have followed all the other spoken word people. It might even have been my destiny.
So my follow up set must, obviously,
be an act of glory.
