armed with words

A woman encouraged me last night
Armed with lipstick and pencils
She used the word womanifestation
Woah, man! Infestation of ideas
but I'm not calling pest control
Uncomfortable in a good way
Thinking and listening
Writing poems in my head
Sharing glances with a good friend
Another encouraging woman

Tammy Gomez read some of her brilliant poetry last night at Book*woman. Here's the poem I heard on the radio promo for last night that got my attention -- Manslaughter.
