![]() ![]() This line stood out for me as Francisco describes that whilst difficult situations can be dealt with pragmatically, they will always be accompanied by tragedy and silence. “Tragedy and silence often have the exact same address.” He emphasises through his use of repetition of “tell me” and alliteration of “ stole the key s to your smile” that despite the unpleasantness of early rises and daily routine, it’s a blessing and shouldn’t be complained about as it is “ so small it can fit on the tip s of our tongues.” By doing this, he positions us to reflect on our “bad days” with more optimism. There’s a reason why so many people resonate with this one and why this poem made my 10 Sensational Slam Poetry Performances post.įrancisco begins by confronting the reader with raw recounts of personal upheaval experienced by himself and others, juxtaposing these situations with the pragmatic responses of those who experienced them. ![]()
