Rat has been guilty of calling his various brief rambling styles "poetry" since some unconfirmed time in the mid 1990's. His earliest live performances were as part of The World's Loudest Poetry Jam, a very interesting open mic run by Captain Martini. Most of this era has been forgotten and the footage somewhat lost.
In the late 90's Rat created a zine called "Start Here," a four-pager that came out every other month which mainly featured a list of open mics for various art forms in the pre-internet era.
