   now I realise +
   
  
positive.code: there was this one +
  brown girl. her energy +
  was a bit strange +
  
  she looked like +
  the kind of girl +
  that would get +
  angry at anything +
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  by public outcry, +
  the Y

  to finish the piece +
  
  
  
  
  And it's unfortunate +
  since I was ready to +
  recommend the event to +
  all of my poetry friends. +
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  if I don't know what +
  I did "wrong" then how +
  am I expected to improve, +
  to prevent myself from +
  doing the exact thing again +
  
  but hey, if the audience +
  goes home happy and doesn't +
  
  
  turn a negative

negative.code: 
  it's the same thing. +

  at this point, 
  
  by public outcry, +
  the Y
  
  I remember Amani 
  
  
  and I gave her +
  
  I have ever given +

  to set the record straight +

  there was more talk of +
  a 'learning experience' +
  
  some other stuff +
  I can't remember +
  
  the show ended +
  at some point, +
  
  as all shows do +
  
  and I wondered what +
  would happen next. +
  
  I had some questions on +
  my mind. Things I wanted +
  to know and understand. +
  
  I did not know +
  what I did 'wrong'. +
  
  I was not sure +
  how to prevent this +
  from happening again, +
  
  or how to learn +
  from this experience. +
  
  hopefully someone +
  had the answers I +
  was looking for. +

  as I stood up +
  from my seat +
  
  I talked to the +
  woman next to me, +
  
  she looked me +
  in the eye +
  
  with a sad face +
  
  and all she said was +
  "that wasn't right." +
  
  I had a few people +
  come up to me +
  right after that.
  
  whether they were +
  virtue signalling or +
  not, I wasn't overly +
  concerned. +
  
  a short while later, +
  
  two women came up to me, +
  basically saying that +
  
  it wasn't right how I was +
  treated and that it should +
  have been handled better.
  
  they were confused about +
  the whole thing themselves +
  
  and suggested I check +
  the wording of the poem +
  
  as there may have been +
  something there which +
  had offended people. +
  
  -
  
  you may find this +
  quite interesting. +
  
  I recall one woman +
  I had a brief chat +
  with. she wanted +
  
  to talk to me +
  
  but she seemed +
  apprehensive about +
  being seen with me +
  
  or seen talking to me. +
  
  during our chat, +
  she referenced +
  
  the reason for +
  her behavior in +
  a joking manner +
  
  but I knew what +
  she meant. +
  
  there is no +
  mistaking that +
  energy. +
  
  she knew what +
  could happen, +
  
  but she still +
  came up to me. +
  
  thank you for +
  talking to me. +
