#89: The Raving Poet

We have something a little different for you with this one: our prompt this evening is this poem by Instagram's Raving Poet. Discuss the challenges of using a poem as inspiration as well as the uniquely evocative nature of collage poetry.  We battle some internet gremlins, and The Lotus loses her connection. Despite these misfortunes, stories this evening begin around the 18:45 mark and include a girl, applying to disappear; a check-in with some beloved characters; a detective delivering some news; and a slew of single-line poetry. Dear one / you no longer look / and there are so many / ways to disappear. Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
