Taylor Mali

The poem, "Like You Know," by Taylor Mali differs in many aspects from the spoken word and the print text. The spoken word can be said in different tones, which adds meaning to the text and poem in general. The spoken word also has laughter and comedy in it because the audience listening can recognize the tones and sarcasm of the poem, which is an asset to the poem. The written word of the poem, which is considered to be unconventional, is not as essential to the peom. It does not add meaning or any additional feeling or emotion to the poem. It also does not add the sarcasm that the speaker says when he reads the poem out loud. The writing space does not benefit the writing in any way. This shows that the writing space is essential to the peom.
