[gentle music] Welcome, welcome, welcome to today's episode of the one and only Poetry Cafe, and today we got a little bit of love for you featuring my man, Suave the Poet.

I'm not waiting for someone to book me.

Josephus· Host0:15

Right.

Suave the Poet· Guest0:16

I'm gonna go put my own event on. And so basically, I'm gonna be reaching out to different cities, different states, getting in contact with venues, and I'm gonna put on my own show.

Josephus· Host0:24

Right.

Suave the Poet· Guest0:25

And my first event is called Sessions with Suave.

Josephus· Host0:27

We also have from the stage, No Envy for Birds.

Suave the Poet· Guest0:30

Take me out your purse. And then, with your smooth hands so soft, you take my top off, twist me and make me rise. And ever so gently you would apply me slowly and carefully, making sure I cover every crevice of your lip. So beautifully intricate, how I wish I could be your lipstick.

Josephus· Host0:43

We got a lot more coming up for you. The Sankofa section, looking at our past, reflecting our present, and moving toward our future. And don't forget the poetry hotline. So stick and stay where you're at inside the Poetry Cafe. [gentle music] Welcome, welcome back. And again, in the building today we have my man, Suave the Poet. We'll talk about his name, how he got it, how he's grown up in the NC industry of poetry, how he started, where he is now, and where he's going. But first, let's check him out from the stage. This is my man, Suave the Poet, here inside the Poetry Cafe. Next to the stage. There you go, there you go, there you go. Suave the Poet to the stage. 2.0.
