sweet baby jesus, mary and joseph, it's come to this.

okay, so apparently something is very very wrong with me, because i actually wrote a poem. and apparently something even more wrong is wrong with me because i feel the unmistakable urge to share this little lump of tripe with the rest of you. hope somebody likes this. it almost drove me mad last night

sorry.

fuck you

That is much stronger than the original version you brought to writing group.

[mr_jaeger]

and all i changed was like 4 lines.

You know, I do know who you are without having to chain yourself to your useless skein of a boyfriend, Connie. And thank you.

I haven't read either, but my mother is trying to impress both upon me as we speak. I've got a lot of reading to do before it, but some day i'll catch up and test out both. thanks for the suggestions, darlin

I'm going off on a tangent.
And I'm never coming back.

Of all the boot in the ass...kick in the teeth...that's it?! 11 words, 2 periods and 2 apostrophes? that's IT!? I expected a lengthy and honest response, not all this cryptic cum metaphoric shit.

That has no place in this journal. If you're going to say something about the poem or its subject or anything relating thereto, just come out and say it. Hike up those cargo pants, steel your resolve, set your jaw, thumb the vast expanse of your nose at what other people think and just come out and say it.

p.s. Like the title?

[mr_jaeger]

Perhaps this is also the time to mention that i'm already writing a follow-up...mostly done with it. With the right kind of requesting, i could share...but seeing as how little you had to say about this foray into the wilds of poetic barbarism, I don't know how inclined i should be towards that course of action.

your call, sugar

If it's criticism you desire from one who you claim to despise on "so many levels", then I do believe my blatant disregard for your mathematical metaphorical chef d'oevre, your clandestine muddled maze of tenderness and terminology was precisely on point and particularly appropriate. An enabler it is -- you now have no reason not to persist with this delicate loathing. I actually look forward to it.
