I'm the child of eternity...I'm too young to know whatever it's facing me like thorough the aesthetic of a shot in Standly Kubrick's movie 2001: a space odyssey...THE MAN IS GOING BEYOND INFINITY

You wanna talk about suggesting God, check this madness: "U.S. Military Deaths Reach 2,000 in Iraq"

By a bizarre coincidence, a guy in this internet cafe just asked me what the English word "intimate" means. I'm afraid to ask why he wants to know.

It came at a price, believe me. The plus side is, it does get you laid after all.

I more and more agree with you.

Premature retraction didn't work for the Catholics, what makes you think it'll help here?
Re: a comment on Eternity by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	25-Oct-05/12:34 PM
Stop it. You're so proud of yourself for supposedly ruffling our feathers. Whatever. We've heard this stuff since we were kids. If you'd bother considering the disintegration of the self into the godhead at the moment of death, and whether that means you or your protagonist will ever actually experience God/heaven in any form recongizable as 'self', you might ruffle us. To whatever you might respond, my response is: The medieval mystic Catherine of Siena believed Christ had married her in a vision with the foreskin of his circumcision. Check and mate.

No, I'm disagreeing with the position that it's necessary to say so so bluntly in a poem. Don't assume that crap about me. I happen to occasionally agree with the position that a Christian dying is gain. But I agree most with the missionary position.

Oh Country music! OK I must have forgotten to turn my brain on that day. The difference is that Johny Cash most likely did do those things. I'm amazed at your ability to pull up these references so often. In complete awe.
Re: Ruins by Caducus	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	25-Oct-05/7:36 AM
Put "I'm" at the beginning of "sculptured by architects". You've got punctuation problems in the first stanza. Some nice sentiment though.
Re: dialect by skaskowski	Dovina 69.175.32.104	25-Oct-05/7:33 AM
Like a bad dream. But the next to last verse suggests God. That's a good verse.
Re: a comment on Ruins by Caducus	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	25-Oct-05/7:32 AM
Unless he's refering to himself being sculptured by the architects but that's quite a stretch. At least help us out with an "I'm" at the begining Caducus.

speak for the spoken silence - maybe leave out spoken. fall to the floor as ash - maybe leave out fall.

Yes. Eat, drink and be merry, make love, for tomorrow you die. There, is hope.

Please retract that! The planet cannot handle such evolutionary goals.
Re: a comment on Eternity by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	25-Oct-05/7:08 AM
Yes I will say “But that’s the whole point.” See my comment to Alchemy. If you say “Exactly,” you are simply disagreeing with the Christian position that “To die is gain.” It’s alright to disagree, but please try to understand this dying woman’s position.
Re: a comment on Eternity by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	25-Oct-05/7:08 AM
I did write in MS Word, but I wanted the capitals as a kind of Biblical parallel. "But the opposite is true" refers to the line directly above it. You say BOO because it seems contradictory. But for a Christian, a dying body is good because it brings her nearer to her God. “To be absent from the body is to be present with God.”
