Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is how I discovered\Nthese things called poetry slams,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you don't know what\Na poetry slam is,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was a format come up with\Nin America 30 years ago
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a way of tricking people\Ninto going to poetry events

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And each performer got three minutes\Nto perform and then

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they would end up\Nwith a numerical score,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what this meant is,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it kind of broke down the barrier\Nbetween performer and audience
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and encouraged the kind\Nof connection with the listener.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what it also means is you can win.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you win a poetry slam,\Nyou can call yourself a slam champion
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and pretend you're a wrestler,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you lose a poetry slam you can say,\N"Oh, what, poetry's a subjective art form,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I loved it, and I\Ngot involved in these slams,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I became the U.K. slam champion
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and got invited to\Nthe Poetry World Cup in Paris,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've been able\Nto travel the world since doing it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it also means that this next piece
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is technically the best poem in the world.
