Just a little, but I wasn't doing well at all. Just looked up 'hoi polloi' (greek, huh?) Still not sure what 'bearing time' is. I can tell that the word-play is cute, but the meaning is lost on me.

No, Zeno's not so annoying as he is delusional. His great folly is that he assumed mathematics and science weren't governed by the same faulty senses. Mathematics is just abstract symbolism for things we percieve as consistant. Define zero without using mathematics. It's nothing, so it can't exist and if it doesn't exist why does it appear in mathematics? Yet wothout it computers won't operate. The tape measure is governed by mathematics and so is limited by the limitations of mathematics. Take a computer that is programmed to measure something down to the infinate fraction and have it measure something that is exactly a yard long and the computer will never finish measuring. Zeno himself is his greatest contradiction. There is no logic beyond our senses that we know of.

Please don't misunderstand. I don't care about your credentials or votes on POTM at some other site or your education or even your breeding stock. Your recently posted poem "ennui" is provocative and good in my opinion. What you must realize is that the comments here may not tell you that. They could just as likely predict the return of Christ. So you can either enter that discussion or ignore it and just consider comments about your poem and the votes. It's a baby-and-bathwater kind of thing.
Re: Ennui by Sisterwolf	Dovina 209.247.222.81	26-Dec-05/9:41 PM
The wording is complecated in the first few lines, and the lack of periods makes it difficult to follow. On second reading, it went smoother. It's the opposite of cliche, and quite interesting.

Explain "english needs a lot of brushing", please. I really want to know.

I stood in line once thinking about something I'd huffed about, and loved it, but I wouldn't do it in line. Time bore down on nine months and nothing happened.
Re: a comment on Broken Bird by Sisterwolf	Sisterwolf 207.69.137.20	26-Dec-05/9:28 PM
The irony of it all is that I don't think it is a very good poem! Thankfully for my ego I was just told I am one of the people in the vote for POTM at my favorite site. I shall wrap myself in the blood-soaked garment and chew it for its nourishment.

Yes, a comment like this is blood in the shark-infested water. But blood in the snow is get-even time for wolves, sister. We're all sensitive, that's why we write. Look for the usable hamburger bun in the trash heap, the skidmarked Kalvin Klines in the dumpster. and damn the estupidos.

Zeno is annoying because he mocks logic by misusing it, or he thinks it's the answer for everything. I heard him right. He said my fat thighs look nice. You can take it either way.

the english needs a lot of brushing. the smooth flow is missing, but the skeleton is beautifully firm.

Perhaps you should get in touch with your inner wolf, sister.

Your wit is delightful. I imagine he likes me as much as he likes tooth pain, but that is okay. I am so sorry to cause such a ruckus. I am 60 year-old and disabled from domestic abuse - I am sensitive and this kind of critiquing is not the place for me. I am posting one last one.
Re: Train of Thought by Sisterwolf	INTRANSIT 64.12.116.67	26-Dec-05/8:03 PM
Hmm. Periods, maybe. But without them it reads more like a child. Since it was a childs memory, this is ok by me. Periods would make it seem written more maturely, maybe too intently. Sorry I can't reach both ends of my shoelace this eve.
