[High pitched squeak breaths for a couple of seconds]
Now [breath], am I [breath]a Slam Poet [breath] or an asthmatic?
I know that slam requires performance to keep it from becoming static
But, seriously, is it just me, or does the overdone breathing just come off as spastic?
It doesn't even match the pace of the gesticulation which is already erratic
You should only do one annoying thing at a time when you're performing
I know that you're a "rebel" and think outside of the box, screaming, "FUCK CONFORMING!"
But, you are... you're doing the same crap as everyone else, just like every other Porn King
Or Queen, because you women are guilty of this too, this shtick with the breathing, IT'S BORING!
Stop it! It's shit! I mean it! Even if you think hyperventilating will get you a better score
Try writing better, raise the level of your creativity, you weak little judge whore!
There, that's something to fuel your next poem, you've been degraded by another poet that just wants more
More performance, more skill, more of anything but that annoying breathing that forms your pieces' cores
It's like Mariah Carey's high pitched C note that she throws into anythying that she sings
It's long, hurts my head, and serves no purpose whatsoever, though it seems so full of meaning, it doesn't actually mean anything
Which makes no sense, considering who you are and what you are, do you even remember why you took up performing?
At least the floppy arm, puppeteer thing conveys SOMETHING! The breathing on the other hand.... nothing.
So [breath] am I [breath] a Slam Poet [breath] or an asthmatic?
If [breath] I'm the former [breath] boo me mercilessly, [breath] but if I'm the latter [breath] call a medic.
