Rattle again!!!

On July the 5th, I made my way back to Rattle.com and the "Poets Respond Live" online call-in open mic via YouTube where I recited my poem, "Steal This House," which is a piece I submitted that was a reaction to Rudy Giuliani's unfounded screed on how Black Lives Matter and other organizations was going to remove people from their homes, nix the police and other nonsense that ridiculously asserted his overreactions that could prove dangerous as well as daft. Also, the poem is interspersed with various voices as responses after certain lines and merged with a personal family matter to express the overall triggered reason why the said poem was written. I begin at 32:20. Enjoy and thank you for listening. - Jarrod
