i'd like to see that that special wrinkle between your brows arched down at the sides i'd like to feel that the sudden inlet of air you gasp when you're overwhelmed i'd like to hear them those filthy phrases you spill online an inch from my ear i'd like to take you to heaven's vices inside my den with walls made of flesh

"Perhaps you expect too much from poetry" hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... that's rich. What a pat and ludcrious excuse for everything. Perhaps you expect to much from a sandwich.. a doctor... a friendship... a blow job.

the arguement to keep things direct is a viable one, and I understand what you're saying, it makes sense, but this idea that too much is expected is ridiculous, don't you think? Some poems are good, some are bad, some can be made better.

Personally I hate poetry about lofty subjects, I'm not one for sitting around figuring out how many angels fit on the head of a pin, boring as hell and holds no bearing on anything. I still believe 'special' could be replaced with something more personal, without losing any of the raw directness, and walls made of flesh, really...that's just so vulgar it's juvenile.
