Why does slam poetry all sound the same?

[bena]

You're probably right, Dale, about slams. I've only attended one, we were all drunk and there were no judges present, just a punch of poets that made up most of the audience. They gave out subjects and we wrote on them and whoever received the most applause won. Perhaps this wasn't the norm.

Some "Me" poetry isn't so melodramatic, at least that's what I keep telling myself, because that seems to be all I write.

I could probably out-act this chick as well. If I did some of my dark Me poetry there, heavens help them.
