That's the kind of stuff poet Sarah Kay is reciting during the last part of the SMG/TED presentation at the Cannes Festival of Media.

I'm no poet, but it's a pretty good riff, and even getting some of the journalists to pause from all the lean-forward finger pecking to look up at the big screen in the Cannes press room.

"I'm a poet, and I'm in the business of stories," she said after completing her first reading, and before going into her second.
