 My door is peephole, peep soul, secretly slipping by in the shadows. I've seen scenes in my dreams. Who's to know if I'm even awake? People ask me what's at stake. I tell them a second of well-done perfection. Either you made your way or you gave way. I really prefer to help people evolve. And I think through the poetry, that's the best way for me to meet someone. I'm Cubs of Poet. I'm a modern-day wordsmith. Basically, I write custom poems and custom books for people. My parents would always say, you know, you need to have a Plan A and a Plan B. I can't create a Plan B. My plan is this plan, right? Poetry. I started on the street reciting this poem. Found out that people donated off of the strength of the poem. I didn't even ask. So I started realizing custom poems are something that people want. And that kind of became the business. I'd go out every day, 11 to 4, write five poems a day. I would describe it basically as spontaneous creation. You give me a topic. If you say you want a poem about love, I'll say, you know, do you love yourself or is it love for somebody else? I kind of get as much information as I can so I can write this poem that relates to you. Having grown men cry is crazy because they get up and walk away, you know? They're like, oh, I gotta go. People always ask why the typewriter. Not only can you not make mistakes, each typewriter it's built differently, right? So the later models are a little quicker like a computer. So you don't even have to look at the keys to type. You just flow. Older models you have to, like, peck. It trains the way I think and the way I write. And then also the sound, like the percussion, the rhythm. Like, I've sat on the street in the French Quarter and I've typed in time with bands. When I tap into that, I don't even worry about what I'm thinking. I'm more so just keeping the beat. In the city, New Orleans, hands down it's the most inspirational environment that I've been in. It just blows my mind that I can hang out with a jazz legend who's now homeless or kids who tap dance with soda cans to, like, salonge and have just a genuine moment. It's just a sense of community that's helped me in my poetry. And the next step is the publishing company, which I started this year and the first book that I write will come through my publishing company. And then I plan to help other poets and other writers. I would always like to have a presence in the street to write and then the central website where people who don't get the opportunity to meet me, they could still find my site and say, hey, I want a custom poem. That's probably the goal, to write as many poems as possible, for as many people as possible. My energy, the typewriter, the place, the setting, it creates a connection. Because we met, that poem exists. When blowing Rio away from the water, presence are no longer wrapped and we do not make wishes when blowing out candles. We are the generation that grew up before it died. Spoiled kids will monopoly money, reach in for the skies, grabbing clouds and cleaning stars, see life. It's but a bathroom break from sitting in this waiting room. And I'm too busy reciting poetry. Do you like poetry?
