    This is why I love slam poetry. Beautiful architecture, indeed, but the the power comes in the delivery - you need the crowd hanging on your every word before you can challenge a convention like the heart as a metaphor. Jared seems to nail this every time.
    Thank you, with love.

    "The heart is a terrible metaphor for love. All of you please stop using it! Delete every poem with it in it. Love, is not a muscle. It cannot atrophy from lack of use. Love isn't an organ, it cannot always sneak up on you. The lungs are a much better metaphor for love. Please, always use them. At inhales the moment our excitement you feel when you first meet someone new. The exhale is that moment of hate we all fear we will feel if this doesnot workout but that moment between breath when your body could be anything, that....THAT.... is love. LOVE IS.....(and he breathes)" Beautiful :)

      I do believe that he said "use" for he makes a statement that love should not be compared to the heart but to the lungs for how it tends to be used by the human body.

    • @lucymarshall525
      @lucymarshall525 8 років тому

      +Nikita Mosre yeah he says use, because he's describing it as a muscle that will not atrophy from lack of use- like a muscle does with lack of use.
