Opening Poem
summary
An impromptu poetry slam opens Day 2 with a mythic poem about a god sacrificing wings, a mother’s choice, and “hidden pages,” delivered after a last‑minute invite from kg katso; the performance sparks an onstage chant exercise and a quick demo of real‑world adoption — a UK club named Ryal Bedford and a Bulgarian city whose football team (founded 1912) now accepts payment with Bitcoin on the shirt, creating local shops and circular economies in a city of about 300,000 people.
