I'm sure the second one is nicer and everything, but the first one? Bwah!

Mmhm. Ah, Margaret Atwood. Thank you.

Are both jarring and amazing. I love hearing about other people's crazy dreams, it makes me feel less crazy (not that you are crazy--you just make me feel normal-ish).

I'm glad someone enjoys hearing (briefly) about my weird dreams!

both are very graphic and powerful. I must say I like the second better, but the first one made me laugh and then grimice. I've been in that relationship (no longer thank goodness.)

I hope you are feeling better.

I am feeling better, thanks! Not tip-top but maybe I'm in the clear finally...

I remember having a love affair with that first poem, which is in my Norton's Anthology of literature by women.

[crankyisgood]

I don't know if I have that Norton's. I like me some Norton's--though not so much the title.

It's just such a good little poem to hold in your head for when you need it, you know?

[congogirl]

Exactly!

Oh, Daph. What a wonderful choice. I am printing it out and taking it home to Mr. Frick. This is the perfect poem for me today. Utterly perfect.
