I meant to ask you after the open mic, but what was the title of the poem you did naked that one night that you also performed tonight?

Love Poem For Self. It’s in my first book, The Nickel Tour. It was inspired by a poem by Sharon Olds, I can’t remember the title but it is in The Unswept Room, where she talks to her 50 year old self from the perspective of her 80 year old self. I often pretend I use to be a grotesque sea creature and now I am a real live human. I love my ankles and calves so much when I do that.
