"Wait" by Carlos Andrés Gómez & Jeanann Verlee

[@NineNerdYards]

I was introduced to this poem 12 years ago when I was in high school (maybe middle school?) And it's only now that I kinda sorta understand it. The Vitruvian Man goes hard!

It's been 8 years since I first heard this...And STILL to this day it makes me cry. You have created pure magic!

Her voice is absolutely beautiful! Such a beautiful poem as well

'why are the dead the only one we can love?' ~ this is heart wrenching!

[@dancingprincess89]

This is beautiful!! "I am just trapped between maybe and should, childhood nightmares and fatherhood dreams how long before I just leap? say love, say yes! "

I don't understand why slam poetry is so weird to most people, this is such a beautiful example at all the emotions spoken word holds. UGHH they presented this so elegantly.

Wonderful performance, well done.

God poetry like this, so real and emotional and raw just run shivers down my spine. One day I hope and dream to be as good as the people who perform at the Bowery Poetry Club.

Simply beautiful. Excellent work.

It's funny, I keep waiting for the one disappointing poem from this man... and it just hasn't come. You are brilliant, poignant and inspiring. Jeanann, fantastic performance as well.

This just got better as it went on.

he needs to collab with Denice frohman. they're both amazingly great and outspoken young Latinos and I think they'd be great together

Yep - that was truly awesome - take head men (and for goodness sake .... leap!)
