Do you mean that you could care less, or that you couldn't care less? If it is the former, why not say, "I could care more?"

funny that this is your highest ranked poem.

Novelty is overrated. Here, a story is being told and being told well. How original is it to die? Doesn't make the death of someone you love any less painful or important or novel.

The writing is direct and concrete. It is written with both skill and emotional restraint, to the degree which is possible anyway.

I can hear an argument that this is not poetry, and, as I am not really a poet, I would not argue. I would argue if one were to posit that this is not exemplary writing. It is.

It is funny, though, how you have taken it upon yourself to rewrite her comment so that it might make some sort of dildo sense to an Oprah addict dangling from Dr. Phil's cock.

the loose, imprecise nature of her writing in this comment should have shown me that her exact words are not important...??

Please tell me you were joking when you wrote that.

Then you go on to tell me that she meant something other than what I read in some language approximating plain English, because you are so much better equipped than I am to decode her? Fucking laughable. Absolutely pathetic.

LOL. Nice dodge. If I am unable to make sense out of the parts, how can I determine what she is saying on the whole, short of making massive assumptions that may or may not be correct? How the fuck do you know what she means? Did she explain it to you privately? Are you one of those bible interpreters that changed "blessed are the poor" to "blessed are the poor in spirit"?

Hmmmmm.... awfully strange that you think she is right about something that YOU inserted into her comment. What are the chances?

ummm. REad the comment that I replied to again, if you can muddle through it.

do you know what the word "hackneyed" means? From this previous post, I would guess not.

What exactly are you accusing Z of circumlocuting? Is he skirting some central point in order to avoid having to address it?

"Hang in"

Now, that is sound advice.

ugh. What could this comment say about your "growth stage"?

True strength is found in weakness?

I suppose true growth is then found in non-growth?

Where did you come up with your 90% figure? I suppose you fancy yourself one of the 10%.

We, as sentient, adult beings, think in words. You think poorly.


"90% just try to walk around pretending they are "strong" or never feel alone or unsure of themselves...or perhaps they are just compleatly out of touch with who they really are"

You could not be more wrong about this.

LOL. Yeah. I got that.

Some sort of concrete imagery would not hurt this. I feel left out.
