00:00:02,413 --> 00:00:05,003
[bright music]

[smooth jazz music]
3
00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:42,002
[casual catchy music]
4
00:00:48,379 --> 00:00:52,519
- Let's show some love
for Aklia Jackson, y'all!
5
00:00:52,517 --> 00:00:55,687
[audience applauding]
6
00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:01,479
And my girl Val. All right.
7
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Whoo, and look at y'all.
8
00:01:05,275 --> 00:01:08,445
Give it up for your
beautiful queer selves.
9
00:01:08,448 --> 00:01:10,448
All right, all right.
10
00:01:10,448 --> 00:01:14,208
Welcome to Queer Poetry Night.
11
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,931
You could be anywhere, but
you chose to be with us,
12
00:01:18,931 --> 00:01:20,341
and I thank you.
13
00:01:20,344 --> 00:01:23,934
And this beautiful Negress
is definitely going
14
00:01:23,931 --> 00:01:26,001
to make it worth your night.
15
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,660
[audience applauding]
Hello!
16
00:01:31,448 --> 00:01:35,098
Now, if you've been here before,
you know how it goes down.
17
00:01:35,103 --> 00:01:39,793
Tonight, it's going to be
full of divine elevation,
18
00:01:39,793 --> 00:01:42,663
and it's going to
be as queer as fuck.
19
00:01:42,655 --> 00:01:46,095
[laughs] Yes, what?
20
00:01:46,103 --> 00:01:48,933
The poets coming to
the stage tonight
21
00:01:48,931 --> 00:01:52,591
are going to strip
your soul bare.
22
00:01:52,586 --> 00:01:55,616
Every month, I like to
have a theme question
23
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:57,690
that I pull from
my personal journey
24
00:01:57,689 --> 00:02:00,099
and things that are
going on in my life,
25
00:02:00,103 --> 00:02:01,973
so tonight's question is
26
00:02:03,172 --> 00:02:06,662
what would you do when
you get what you want?
27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,480
Let that sink in.
28
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:15,340
You see, we spend so much
time wanting, praying for,
29
00:02:15,344 --> 00:02:20,004
obsessing over that thing,
and sometimes that person.
30
00:02:23,448 --> 00:02:25,338
[women moaning]
31
00:02:25,344 --> 00:02:28,284
But what happens
when you get it?
32
00:02:33,241 --> 00:02:35,861
- You know, I don't
know if she stayed
33
00:02:35,862 --> 00:02:38,862
because she didn't want to
give that motherfucker half
34
00:02:38,862 --> 00:02:42,102
or if she actually
wanted to work it out.
35
00:02:43,482 --> 00:02:45,972
- I think she wants
to work it out.
36
00:02:45,965 --> 00:02:49,065
I mean, shit, last time
she saved their marriage
37
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:50,138
with a baby.
38
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:50,997
- Did she, though?
39
00:02:52,517 --> 00:02:55,657
She gave him a baby and he
went to Africa for a year
40
00:02:55,655 --> 00:02:57,715
because he needed space.
41
00:02:57,724 --> 00:02:59,664
That's some bullshit.
42
00:02:59,655 --> 00:03:00,925
But what I don't understand
43
00:03:00,931 --> 00:03:03,901
is why she gave up the
entire firm for him.
44
00:03:03,896 --> 00:03:05,826
- Don't you worry
yourself about that.
45
00:03:05,827 --> 00:03:07,237
When push comes to shove,
you can always come
46
00:03:07,241 --> 00:03:09,281
and work with me and George.
47
00:03:10,862 --> 00:03:12,862
- Candice, I can't do that.
48
00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:17,213
I mean, you and George have
enough of your own problems.
49
00:03:19,034 --> 00:03:20,554
- That is true.
50
00:03:21,413 --> 00:03:23,173
Don't worry, you'll
land somewhere.
51
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:25,723
- Not anywhere I want to be.
52
00:03:26,965 --> 00:03:29,715
I mean, my degrees don't
mean shit in this market
53
00:03:29,724 --> 00:03:32,214
because I'm going up for jobs
54
00:03:32,206 --> 00:03:34,716
against these app
savvy millennials.
55
00:03:38,241 --> 00:03:39,551
- I slept with a woman.
56
00:03:42,034 --> 00:03:42,864
- What?
57
00:03:44,793 --> 00:03:46,723
- I slept with a
woman last night
58
00:03:49,206 --> 00:03:49,996
and I liked it.
59
00:03:50,896 --> 00:03:51,856
- Are you serious?
60
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:54,450
What woman?
61
00:03:55,379 --> 00:03:58,069
What, wait, why?
62
00:03:58,068 --> 00:04:00,238
- I, I don't know.
63
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:02,341
I, I went to Ginny's
64
00:04:04,379 --> 00:04:08,719
and then this fine-ass sister
sends a drink to my table
65
00:04:08,724 --> 00:04:12,144
then she sits down next
to me, starts macking me,
66
00:04:12,137 --> 00:04:15,477
and next thing I know
I'm in her apartment.
67
00:04:15,482 --> 00:04:17,002
I'm there most of the night
68
00:04:19,275 --> 00:04:21,785
and I don't recognize myself
69
00:04:22,965 --> 00:04:24,615
and it's wonderful.
70
00:04:27,793 --> 00:04:30,453
[both laughing]
71
00:04:31,586 --> 00:04:32,966
- Candice!
72
00:04:32,965 --> 00:04:34,275
- [Candice] I know, right?
73
00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:35,475
- Hey!
74
00:04:35,482 --> 00:04:37,862
How y'all motherfuckers
doing tonight?
75
00:04:37,862 --> 00:04:40,212
Y'all look great.
Fucking beautiful.
76
00:04:40,206 --> 00:04:42,656
You know, I love to
give people a compliment
77
00:04:42,655 --> 00:04:46,135
because my name is
Lo and I'm a hoe.
78
00:04:46,137 --> 00:04:50,137
I say that because
it's the truth
79
00:04:50,137 --> 00:04:52,827
and I really don't know how
else to introduce myself.
80
00:04:52,827 --> 00:04:55,137
I'm Lo, I'm a hoe. I
really, really like sex.
81
00:04:55,137 --> 00:04:57,137
You know, most people are afraid
82
00:04:57,137 --> 00:04:58,447
to get what they really want.
83
00:04:58,448 --> 00:05:00,278
Not me. I like to
put it out there.
84
00:05:00,275 --> 00:05:03,165
I like to let people know
what their options are.
85
00:05:03,172 --> 00:05:05,342
You know, some people have
friends with benefits.
86
00:05:05,344 --> 00:05:06,284
Not me, no.
87
00:05:06,275 --> 00:05:07,825
I'm a fuck with benefits, okay,
88
00:05:07,827 --> 00:05:10,027
because to me the fucking part
89
00:05:10,034 --> 00:05:11,904
is the essential part
of the relationship,
90
00:05:11,896 --> 00:05:13,896
the friendship part is
what happens afterwards
91
00:05:13,896 --> 00:05:15,966
'cause motherfuckers gotta
eat, you know what I'm saying?
92
00:05:15,965 --> 00:05:18,205
Like, I'm hungry, you hungry,
let's go get something to eat.
93
00:05:18,206 --> 00:05:20,616
So that's how we become
friends, you know?
94
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,690
But I'm just, look, I'm
just trying to get free,
95
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:23,829
you know what I'm saying?
96
00:05:23,827 --> 00:05:25,207
Can I live?
97
00:05:25,206 --> 00:05:26,376
- [Crowd] Yes!
98
00:05:26,379 --> 00:05:29,519
- This is scolding hot tea.
99
00:05:29,517 --> 00:05:30,687
Does George know this?
100
00:05:30,689 --> 00:05:33,169
- No, but Jake does.
101
00:05:34,827 --> 00:05:36,517
- Wait, why does
your son know this?
102
00:05:36,517 --> 00:05:37,717
- Because they're friends.
103
00:05:37,724 --> 00:05:41,524
I had no idea, and
then he walks in on us.
104
00:05:41,517 --> 00:05:42,897
- Wait, wait, wait.
105
00:05:42,896 --> 00:05:45,406
That's messy, Candice,
and you're not messy.
106
00:05:46,862 --> 00:05:50,552
Is this some kind of
revenge on George?
107
00:05:50,551 --> 00:05:53,691
- No. This has nothing
to do with George.
108
00:05:54,931 --> 00:05:57,211
I mean, yeah, he's a lying
cheating son of a bitch,
109
00:05:57,206 --> 00:06:00,756
but no, this is not about him.
110
00:06:03,344 --> 00:06:05,314
I have been trying
to work with that.
111
00:06:06,689 --> 00:06:08,929
Listen, we've been
disconnected for so long.
112
00:06:08,931 --> 00:06:11,791
We hardly have sex,
and when we do,
113
00:06:11,793 --> 00:06:14,863
shit, he hasn't made
me cum in a year.
114
00:06:14,862 --> 00:06:19,832
But with her, I had
multiple orgasms.
115
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:21,933
It was amazing.
116
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:24,591
The whole room was an ocean.
117
00:06:26,827 --> 00:06:28,137
- You hear yourself, right?
118
00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:32,790
You're gonna break up your
entire family for an orgasm?
119
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:35,343
- Michelle, what are you talking
about break up my family?
120
00:06:35,344 --> 00:06:39,104
My family's been
broken for years.
121
00:06:39,103 --> 00:06:40,073
- So you're gay now?
122
00:06:41,931 --> 00:06:43,591
- I am
123
00:06:45,482 --> 00:06:46,592
myself now,
124
00:06:49,103 --> 00:06:52,453
and I deserve to be happy
and I deserve to feel good
125
00:06:52,448 --> 00:06:55,618
and I deserve to be
coming on the regular.
126
00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:58,690
- Okay, and that all
sounds really, really good,
127
00:06:58,689 --> 00:07:02,309
but it's just not
worth everything
you're giving up, babe.
128
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:05,139
- What are you talking
about I'm giving up?
129
00:07:05,137 --> 00:07:07,407
- Okay, so you remember
Sarah and David?
130
00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:08,313
- Yeah.
- Okay.
131
00:07:09,517 --> 00:07:13,237
He dumped her ass and
now she has nothing.
132
00:07:13,241 --> 00:07:15,791
Her whole life is ruined.
133
00:07:15,793 --> 00:07:17,003
- Michelle, that's
not gonna be me.
134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,170
I own half my company.
135
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:20,482
If I wanted to be nasty,
136
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:22,662
I could walk away
with the whole thing.
137
00:07:22,655 --> 00:07:25,135
- So what's next? Hmm?
138
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:27,825
Gonna get a divorce?
139
00:07:29,793 --> 00:07:30,623
- I don't know.
140
00:07:32,517 --> 00:07:34,307
I just know I'm
tired of pretending.
141
00:07:38,172 --> 00:07:39,452
- Wow, Candice.
142
00:07:41,655 --> 00:07:43,475
You really like this girl?
143
00:07:47,724 --> 00:07:49,144
- And I miss her.
144
00:07:51,413 --> 00:07:53,483
- I had to find
out I was beautiful
145
00:07:53,482 --> 00:07:55,932
by falling in love
with other black women.
146
00:07:55,931 --> 00:07:58,861
There is nothing more
honest than lying naked
147
00:07:58,862 --> 00:08:02,072
with everything you've been
taught to hate about yourself.
148
00:08:02,068 --> 00:08:04,408
- Amen!
- Speak about it!
149
00:08:04,413 --> 00:08:06,863
- She kisses me
with her eyes open.
150
00:08:06,862 --> 00:08:08,722
Says she needs proof.
151
00:08:08,724 --> 00:08:09,904
- She better.
- Okay!
152
00:08:11,137 --> 00:08:12,587
- And what about your parents?
153
00:08:12,586 --> 00:08:16,546
I mean, oh god, your
poor mother, poor Dottie.
154
00:08:16,551 --> 00:08:18,551
This is gonna kill her.
155
00:08:18,551 --> 00:08:20,661
And then there's George.
156
00:08:20,655 --> 00:08:22,375
Okay, when he finds this out,
157
00:08:22,379 --> 00:08:25,379
he's gonna lose his
entire grip on reality.
158
00:08:26,586 --> 00:08:28,786
Oh my god, and then
what about Jake?
159
00:08:30,862 --> 00:08:32,452
- You know what,
Jake is an adult
160
00:08:33,413 --> 00:08:34,593
and he's gonna be all right.
161
00:08:34,586 --> 00:08:37,206
I'm gonna talk to
him and explain.
162
00:08:38,206 --> 00:08:39,586
And why should I give a damn
163
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:42,066
about what George
thinks about anything?
164
00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:45,478
- Because you need to
consider George, okay?
165
00:08:45,482 --> 00:08:47,522
- Do I?
- Yes, you do.
166
00:08:48,551 --> 00:08:49,721
Why are you being so selfish?
167
00:08:49,724 --> 00:08:50,904
- Oh, I'm being selfish?
168
00:08:50,896 --> 00:08:52,546
You know what, fuck George!
169
00:08:54,586 --> 00:08:57,656
I mean, I didn't tell you this
for you to start judging me.
170
00:08:57,655 --> 00:09:00,305
- Then why did you tell me?
- Because I thought I could.
171
00:09:00,310 --> 00:09:02,280
- And you can, and
you always can,
172
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:04,480
but that's not gonna stop me
173
00:09:04,482 --> 00:09:06,762
from being your voice
of reason, okay?
174
00:09:06,758 --> 00:09:07,928
You had your fling.
175
00:09:08,793 --> 00:09:10,313
Now cut this shit out, Candice.
176
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:12,450
- No, this is not new.
177
00:09:13,965 --> 00:09:14,785
- What's not new?
178
00:09:17,965 --> 00:09:19,445
- This wasn't my first time.
179
00:09:22,137 --> 00:09:24,517
You remember Bridget Stephens
180
00:09:24,517 --> 00:09:26,207
from freshman year?
181
00:09:26,206 --> 00:09:26,996
- Kind of.
182
00:09:28,793 --> 00:09:30,973
- She was the head cheerleader.
183
00:09:30,965 --> 00:09:33,135
She was dating Chris,
that point guard
184
00:09:33,137 --> 00:09:34,137
that everybody
wanted to get with,
185
00:09:34,137 --> 00:09:35,967
the one with the pretty eyes.
186
00:09:35,965 --> 00:09:37,095
- Yes, yes.
187
00:09:38,827 --> 00:09:40,997
- Well, her dorm room
was right next to mine.
188
00:09:43,448 --> 00:09:44,658
And that first Memorial Day,
189
00:09:44,655 --> 00:09:47,095
remember everybody else
left town and I couldn't
190
00:09:47,103 --> 00:09:48,793
because my parents
were traveling?
191
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,099
And Bridget stayed too,
192
00:09:52,931 --> 00:09:54,071
and we,
193
00:09:56,724 --> 00:09:59,004
we spent the entire
weekend together.
194
00:10:01,137 --> 00:10:03,337
- You messed around with her?
195
00:10:03,344 --> 00:10:05,144
She's gay?
196
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:07,787
- All I know is that
we were together
197
00:10:09,793 --> 00:10:11,283
the entire weekend
198
00:10:12,965 --> 00:10:16,405
and it was crazy and amazing.
199
00:10:20,379 --> 00:10:24,239
Taylor brings all
that back to me.
200
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:27,720
You know, I've been so worried
201
00:10:27,724 --> 00:10:30,974
about everything
and everyone else,
202
00:10:30,965 --> 00:10:34,855
and I'm just tired
of living like that.
203
00:10:36,551 --> 00:10:40,311
- Listen, you just don't
know how lucky you are.
204
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:44,340
Okay, like George isn't perfect,
Candice, but he loves you.
205
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:46,970
- Michelle, what?
206
00:10:46,965 --> 00:10:49,475
- Listen, listen, you're
gonna leave all that,
207
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:50,972
you're gonna leave your family
208
00:10:51,965 --> 00:10:54,585
for a girl that your son's age.
209
00:10:54,586 --> 00:10:56,306
I mean, that's just dumb.
210
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:58,410
- Oh, so I'm dumb now?
211
00:10:58,413 --> 00:10:59,663
- No.
212
00:10:59,655 --> 00:11:01,655
- I'm dumb? Whose
side are you on?
213
00:11:01,655 --> 00:11:03,685
- I didn't mean it like that.
214
00:11:04,827 --> 00:11:06,657
I just don't
understand all this.
215
00:11:06,655 --> 00:11:08,405
- I thought you were my friend.
216
00:11:11,689 --> 00:11:12,519
Damn.
217
00:11:32,689 --> 00:11:34,169
- Aklia, sweetie.
218
00:11:35,758 --> 00:11:36,588
Hi, baby.
219
00:11:38,379 --> 00:11:39,689
You look good.
220
00:11:39,689 --> 00:11:41,099
- [Aklia] Mom, what
are you doing here?
221
00:11:41,103 --> 00:11:43,213
- What do you mean
what am I doing here?
222
00:11:43,206 --> 00:11:44,686
Your father had to
go to work tonight.
223
00:11:44,689 --> 00:11:47,169
Told me you were performing,
so I came to watch you.
224
00:11:49,034 --> 00:11:50,314
- You can't be here.
225
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:51,280
- Why not?
226
00:11:51,275 --> 00:11:53,165
- Whiskey neat.
227
00:11:53,172 --> 00:11:55,242
- Whiskey? Can I
have water please?
228
00:11:56,344 --> 00:11:57,694
Thank you.
229
00:11:57,689 --> 00:11:58,829
Why can I not be here?
230
00:11:59,862 --> 00:12:02,482
- This is my place, not yours.
231
00:12:02,482 --> 00:12:03,902
- Your place?
232
00:12:03,896 --> 00:12:06,756
Since when are you
buying stock in Ginny's?
233
00:12:07,931 --> 00:12:09,281
Thank you, dear.
234
00:12:09,275 --> 00:12:10,585
- [Fan] Excuse me.
235
00:12:10,586 --> 00:12:12,096
- [Diana] Mm-hmm?
236
00:12:12,103 --> 00:12:14,213
- [Fan] Oh my god, we love you.
237
00:12:15,241 --> 00:12:16,281
- Thank you, thank you.
238
00:12:16,275 --> 00:12:18,095
- [Fan] Can we get a picture?
239
00:12:18,103 --> 00:12:19,283
- [laughs] Absolutely.
240
00:12:19,275 --> 00:12:20,995
Kli, Kli, take a picture of us.
241
00:12:22,931 --> 00:12:25,521
Thank you, baby.
Oh, the camera here.
242
00:12:25,517 --> 00:12:26,787
And you know how to do it, baby.
243
00:12:26,793 --> 00:12:28,933
Hold the whole camera
up so we can look pretty
244
00:12:28,931 --> 00:12:30,621
and young and skinny.
245
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:32,280
- One, two.
- On three.
246
00:12:32,275 --> 00:12:34,545
- [Aklia] One, two, three.
247
00:12:36,758 --> 00:12:37,998
- Fantastic.
248
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,280
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, ladies.
249
00:12:39,275 --> 00:12:40,755
You beautiful too.
Have a good night.
250
00:12:40,758 --> 00:12:41,588
- Thanks.
251
00:12:45,344 --> 00:12:46,414
- Did I miss your set?
252
00:12:48,827 --> 00:12:50,547
- I'm playing all night.
253
00:12:50,551 --> 00:12:52,101
- Really?
254
00:12:52,103 --> 00:12:54,933
What are you playing 'cause
there's no band up there.
255
00:12:59,103 --> 00:12:59,933
- Just go home.
256
00:13:01,103 --> 00:13:02,833
It's taken me a long time
to finally work up the nerve
257
00:13:02,827 --> 00:13:04,687
to get back on that stage,
258
00:13:04,689 --> 00:13:06,719
and you being here is
gonna mess that up.
259
00:13:07,896 --> 00:13:08,716
- Wow.
260
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,590
I didn't know that my presence
261
00:13:14,586 --> 00:13:16,276
has caused you so
much discomfort.
262
00:13:18,068 --> 00:13:18,898
- It does.
263
00:13:22,689 --> 00:13:24,999
- You might want to go easy
on that drinking, dear.
264
00:13:29,172 --> 00:13:31,832
- You know why I
don't want you here?
265
00:13:31,827 --> 00:13:33,477
It's because you're a hypocrite.
266
00:13:34,862 --> 00:13:37,522
You come here and you pretend
like you like gay people,
267
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:40,137
but at home you
treat me like shit,
268
00:13:41,586 --> 00:13:43,896
and I don't have the
energy to pretend with you
269
00:13:43,896 --> 00:13:45,136
to make you feel good.
270
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,307
So can you just fucking go?
271
00:13:51,655 --> 00:13:52,475
Just go, Mom.
272
00:13:57,344 --> 00:13:58,454
Can you just leave?
273
00:13:58,448 --> 00:13:59,278
- Okay.
274
00:14:02,413 --> 00:14:04,003
All right.
- Another.
275
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:15,900
