"Those Fine Egyptian Sheets..You Gotta Burn 'Em"

I picked this poem having no idea what it would be about, but thinking maybe it had something to do with how the arts saves lives. I thought that would be relatable considering recent retrenchment at my university. Then I hit play and began to listen to the poem, I realized that I had already written about the poem he was performing previously, "Swiftly", but it was an animated version. To actually see him perform the poem was strange. I think it was because I was watching him from the chest up, but I could tell that he was still moving his hands, he even glanced down at them a few times. After the poem was completed an interview began, which was another pleasant supplies because I learned that another poem I had looked at "We Are More" was in fact a poem that he had written for the Winter Olympics that were held in Vancouver in 2010. Which was interesting because he is very humble when asking why he was picked, he even gave his fan credit. I liked that he shared a personal story about himself and not an embarrassing one involving a fan. I even laughed at it because I wouldn't have thought someone would have gotten Scarlet Fever today and to think that a hotel had to burn sheets.
