    The way she said "sorry sorry sorry" felt like she took the words out of every girl's mouth. Everyone knew that line already. And she knew they would.. It gave me chills. I heard myself saying it as she said it.

    This is incredible. I love the cadence she slips in and out of, and the character she creates so quickly.

    the staccato rhythm beautifully highlights the disjointed thoughts and ideas warring with each other in the poem. its absolutely gorgeous. love it

    I've lived 20 preI've lived 20 prettybird years
    Of this great big prettybird life
    And i think i pretty pretty pretty bird bird pretty much know what im talking about
    People like to poke fun at my pretty bird pretty preening
    At my pretty pretty bird pretty feathers
    But look at my long clean coat
    At my pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
    When pigeon men track me cross sky highway
    tHey are happy to trace hungry orange eyes
    between my pretty pretty bird bird feathers
    To busy fantasizing pretty bird
    Wet dreams swollen chest fluff fest
    To pretty poke bird fun
    To pretty poke fun bird
    To pretty bird bird pretty bird bird pretty pretty pretty
    Too busy fantasizing
    to poke fun at permanently preening pretty bird
    My vanity is insanity unless it helps get you off
    What a treat hosting eyes between my thighs
    They will spend equal time begging to share bed with me
    Condemning mediocrity
    How does one achieve complexity when all she was ever taught to be was basic
    Pigeon man wants pretty bird to pretty bird
    Until pretty bird fulfills ideas of prettiness
    Then shes too pretty pretty bird bird paralyzing and preened
    Look at my long clean coat
    At my pretty pretty bid pretty pink legs
    Track me cross sky highway
    Take a picture I beg you
    Take a picture pretty bird pretty bird
    My left side is my best side
    I have a best side
    I have a better half
    I am a half
    Pretty cus they want a pretty bird bird
    I grew up on a diet of bread crumbs catalog clippings and sidewalk cracks
    How do you expect anything else
    Pretty sure i know what im talking about
    Pretty sure
    pretty sure
    Maybe not
    Sorry sorry sorry sorry
    Can i ask a question
    Sorry sorrry
    May i may i
    Pretty bird used to sing
    Baby bird used to sing
    Baby bird was pretty bird before pretty bird learned to pretty
    And baby bird could compose whole symphonies
    Acute intricacies melodies capturing vacies poetry
    But the reviews came in
    and they prefered apology
    So she shrank
    learned to make herself small enough
    to nearly fit back in her eggshell
    to tip toe atop eggshells
    expanded flight just long enough
    for pigeon men to track her cross sky highway
    but still she sang too loud
    so they caged her up
    for her pretty pretty bird bird long clean coat
    for her pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
    and they said sing pretty lady sing
    but I forgot how
    so I said
    pretty pretty bird bird look at my long clean coat
    at my pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
    but they were bored of me

    The best poetry slam ever, perfect performance and it's sooooooooo creative, so an easy way to show sooo deep stuff. And I mean by easy the way she uses the picture of a bird to say things through it.
    I really love it!!!

      I'm in the same position, I tried searching for the 'lyrics' but I can't seem to find them, and the automatic captions aren't right. I tried making a transcript but couldn't quite catch a few words, hopefully someone else can correct those:

      Song of the Prettybird:
      I've lived 20 prettybird years
      Of this great big prettybird life
      And i think i pretty pretty pretty bird bird pretty much know what im talking about
      People like to poke fun at my pretty bird pretty preening
      At my pretty pretty bird pretty feathers
      But look at my long clean coat
      At my pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
      When pigeon men track me cross sky highway
      they are happy to trace hungry orange eyes
      between my pretty pretty bird bird feathers
      To busy fantasizing pretty bird
      Wet dreams swollen chest fluff fest
      To pretty poke bird fun
      To pretty poke fun bird
      To pretty bird bird pretty bird bird pretty pretty pretty
      Too busy fantasizing
      to poke fun at permanently preening pretty bird
      My vanity is insanity unless it helps get you off
      What a treat hosting eyes between my thighs
      They will spend equal time begging to share bed with me
      Condemning mediocrity
      How does one achieve complexity when all she was ever taught to be was basic
      Pigeon man wants pretty bird to pretty bird
      Until pretty bird fulfills ideas of prettiness
      Then shes too pretty pretty bird bird paralyzing and preened
      Look at my long clean coat
      At my pretty pretty bid pretty pink legs
      Track me cross sky highway
      Take a picture I beg you
      Take a picture pretty bird pretty bird
      My left side is my best side
      I have a best side
      I have a better half
      I am a half
      Pretty cus they want a pretty bird bird
      I grew up on a diet of bread crumbs catalog clippings and sidewalk cracks
      How do you expect anything else
      Pretty sure i know what im talking about
      Pretty sure
      pretty sure
      Maybe not
      Sorry sorry sorry sorry
      Can i ask a question
      Sorry sorrry
      May i may i
      Pretty bird used to sing
      Baby bird used to sing
      Baby bird was pretty bird before pretty bird learned to pretty
      And baby bird could compose whole symphonies
      Acute intricacies melodies capturing vacies poetry
      But the reviews came in
      and they prefered apology
      So she shrank
      learned to make herself small enough
      to nearly fit back in her eggshell
      to tip toe atop eggshells
      expanded flight just long enough
      for pigeon men to track her cross sky highway
      but still she sang too loud
      so they caged her up
      for her pretty pretty bird bird long clean coat
      for her pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
      and they said sing pretty lady sing
      but I forgot how
      so I said
      pretty pretty bird bird look at my long clean coat
      at my pretty pretty bird pretty pink legs
      but they were bored of me

    I've always wanted a place to read my poetry, but I'm beyond broke and can't really get around. So you have any suggestions? I'm in Las Vegas
