A poet has much to gain. His wisdom of being able to rhyme words, and then not rhyming them. He says nothing, wearing a gay jacket and fucking any men in the bathroom he can. The poet has much pain. In his ass while he gets fucked hard from behind by a guy named Billy. Billy cums in the poets ass and gives him aids. The poet has much disdain. Women won't fuck him so like a Catholic priest, he's a pedophile. The poet can go get fucked.
I sent him an email my senior year to see if he could stop by during my poetry club since he was doing a college in the area. He came just for the hell of it.
Mali is amazing. My friend got me into Def Poetry and we showed some of his videos during writing camp, he truly amazed me. This is one of my favorite readings by him. It as humor, charisma but a serious message, it really grabbed my attention.

I really have never been so pissed. I want to call this guy and have him mail me my three minutes and thirty seven seconds. Horrible, what a suck face.
Thank you for all that you do Mr. Mali. You're an amazing author, teacher and speaker, and you change the lives of anyone priveleged anough to hear or read any one of your poems. Thank you.
I have a live performance of "What Teachers Make" on my myspace page and I watch it regularly. I just finished my 4th year of college and sometimes I just need a little reminder of why I'm doing what I'm doing to be a teacher. Thank you!
Hey Taylor, I saw you perform this in the booming metropolis of High Falls, N.Y. a few years back. Now that I'm working as a V/O artist, I just had to hear this piece again.
Thanks for posting it. A visit I just paid to your website was also quite refreshing. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Listen to it drunk. Even better.
