Love is Leaving the Door Unlocked: Slam Poetry

The vast land of the internet holds a lot of little wonders. Today’s (not so little) wonder is a piece of powerful spoken word poetry by Neil Hilborn, a St. Paul, Minnesota resident, competing in Rustbelt 2013 this past June. At the regional poetry competition, Hilborn eloquently and painfully describes the rise and fall of someone experiencing love and OCD.
