Hardly, would I write about less than importance.

You speak, no doubt, of a super man, whom women long for, gush on, then nurse in his paralyzed state til death do us part. Thank you, but your basic binary man, enhanced with compassionate software, outperforms in the end.

Yes. And please read my answer carefully, paying particular attention to the question.

I'd hate to give a long thoughtful reply here where Dancing Shamrock will likely soon delete it. I love when you say, "You'll probably answer . . ." because I can usually do just that and fully justify it by one of the various twists offered. But in this case you do not understand bnecause you are not bound by reason.

I would not trust a man so arogant as to say he trumps. Such a man has not learned the contentment of not knowing. - Dovina

A2: Yes. There is no definition, except man-made. God will not be bent.

Of course.

In trying to negate the innate difference between us, you miss many points.

Nor Wellington-clad cockneys, brogue-bragging limeys, or lily-liver Londoners.

As a woman, I wear my emotions under thick layers of superior wisdom and insight, which in all but a few necessary moments supress all the firey darts of chauvism. The apparent emotions that seem always visable are for seduction, the bait, the trap. It's all very well planned.

No, it's not about him! lol on the ovi.

The four attitudes represent the four proteins that make can be selected from in making DNA. A computer can select only from 1 and 0 for any one bit. DNA can select from four proteins for a “bit” of its code.

It’s about love, I’m glad you noticed it. When we seduce him with charm (force charm on him), it’s really yielding to an innate fault that only finds compliment in his terse, computer-like brain.

You’re not getting any eggs out of me. This whole thing about sex is where she keeps hers and he gives his, remember.

I have usually sacrificed flow for novelty or for saying more precisely what I want to say. I may be more of a storywriter than a poet. In this case, I tried for the terse atmosphere of computers, which struck me as man-like. I tried to compare that with the more feminine nature of programmers, by comparison.
Thanks for your comment.

I used an ordinary dictionary, not a medical one. Wouldn't most people do that?
replying on The world's shortest poem by ALChemy 16 Nov 2005, 8:26 PM
I am cute, but not short. Cute can be acquired, short cannot. In that lie all the reasons for politics and religion.

I see no point in shrouding a thing like this. In allowing several ingterpretations, you do what I do, and incur the consternation of me. maybe you meant something particuar, maybe nebulosity. It seems to me that a poem should at least purport something, not paint lines pointing in all directions. It's ok if readers find other meanings, but some meaning should stand our like a basket of fruit or a tree.

As for the biting comments, I have little time to spare for matters of eternity, finding the slanging matches between teenage poetry snobs of higher importance. My comments are more of an irritated response to the image that you and zodiac have presented. I welcome the chance to receive feedback on my work, and get distinctly annoyed when I receive time waisting comments.

Neither do I, but in the interest of diversity, I sometimes enjoy the company of gays, transvestites, Lesbians, Christians, and egotists.

I have two legs, and can't stand on either of them for very long.
