A Proposal
When Phil and I performed at “Sweetalkers” in Melbourne, Australia, we were told that there were two guys who wanted to perform a duet poem to introduce our feature. Abdul Hammoud and Meena Shamaly had introduced themselves to me earlier in the evening, but had said no more than a few words to me the whole night. Phil and I were happy to have an opener and sat back to watch their duet. The resulting poem was equal parts surprising, flattering, horrifying, and awesome.
