Sometimes the only thing to do is be quiet and get out of the way. Such is the case with this
lesson in astonishment, a spoken word poem entitled, “
Acceptance Speech After Setting the World Record in Goosebumps.”
As Colorado poet laureate Andrea Gibson recommends, “Tear off the caution tape from your life and be touched.”
I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with lightness and beauty and too many goosebumps to keep track of.

Beautiful side note: Though Andrea Gibson is Colorado’s poet laureate, it turns out she is actually from Calais, Maine. 453 goosebumps.
