my momma says poetry's in my blood

so juneau shanghai'd another seattle city project - putting local poetry on the public buses. i didn't enter last year although a roommate did, so this year when a different roomie suggested it on the last day of deadline, i emailed a poem in. and whaddya know! i won! there were 20 poems in the adult category and 16 adult winners that were selected out of over 200 people by alaska state poet laureates. the awards ceremony where they'll read them and the judge laureate talks about his top 5 is tomorrow, so i won't be able to attend because i'm still in paraidse; woe is me, i know. the "unveiling" ceremony of the poem placards, however, isn't til the 9th so i will hopefully have some pictures of me posing inappropriately for such a distinction. as usual.
