I had a revelation today at lunch. I don't like girls that sleep around. Tacky, gross girls should stay far away from me. I sound like such a snob, and maybe I am, but they just bother me. This is my ode to sluts.
A Woman's Fate by Rilke
Even as a king out hunting seized a glass,
something to drink from - any glass, no matter, -
and someone after that in a sure place
put the slight thing away, to guard it better:
thus destiny, which also has a thirst,
picked up thus woman, drank of her till slaked,
and afterward some trivial fellow durst
not put her to her use, for fear she break,
and stuck her in that careful cupboard where
one cherishes all costly things and rare
(or things that people fancy have some worth).
And there she stood, as strange as something loaned,
slowly growing merely old and blind,
and was not prized and never rare on earth.
