After putting on her St. Patrick’s Day beads and adding green hair spray to her hair. Kuypers went to he open mic at Waiting 4 the Bus (this week with guest host Robin Fine). Kuypers played guitar-themed meditation music while she read 8 never-before performed haiku poems, as well as 2 (over half a lifetime) old original poems, plus the first poem she ever read at a poetry open mic (and her only poem that has it’s own poetry video), a poem written that day, and a Periodic Table poem (sung/screamed to a beat).
