Poetry Slam

THIS IS SOMETHING I believe is a very unique type of art. In fact, I did not know that this type of standup poetry existed...It fascinates me but also confuses me a little about what the man is talking about at first, but the SLAM builds up in the video when he connects his reasons together for spelling "m-o-t-h-e-r" for the word "father" in a spelling bee because of his childhood and not having a father growing up.
