Back to The Low Beat for Brass Tacks open mic, tonight with a guest host, Albany rocker, Nick Bisanz, who must’ve given the Tour Bus the wrong directions because it never showed up, but 4 of us signed up & read. & we also had a guest bartender, Marisa in for the night for our usual Kim.
I started off with my rant “The Grim Reaper,” then a bit of fantasy inspired by a friend’s selfie on Facebook, in her blue bedroom, “Lily White.”
John was new here & recited from memory a new piece “Walking Outdoors 1: the Lobster Poem” apparently part of a series with evocative Surrealistic images, then a poem beginning “Wait, Panic …” speaking to a personified “Panic.”
Reed did his usual bit which is talking about movies he has seen & obsessed over, starting off by saying how much he liked the new Joker movie, then on to a rambling summary of Toy Story #1, #2, #3 & #4, actually reciting lines from his “favorite parts.”
Our guest host, Nick, brought it to an end with a piece about a film he saw last night, Spiral, a 1978 Polish thriller. The we spiraled on into the night.
Getting Down to Brass Tacks is an open mic, with a sometimes featured poet, held on the first & third Tuesday of each month at The Low Beat, 335 Central Ave., Albany, NY, 7:30PM, more details at albanypoets.com
