I'll ask the Lord to send you more shit and AIDS. Now go make your mother proud. By the way, what's bukkake?

I'm so sorry Frass, it's surreal isn't it. Everythngs going to be o.k. I mean geez Death waits around every corner, but things have got to be insane over there right now. I was praying for you today. didn't know it was you personally, but I was praying for you. The thing is, your going to walk out of this with a keener appreciation. 7 out of 9. 7 out of 9.

Revolting, but in a good way. Why does porn make me queasy? Should there be parenthesis' around L2 in the 1st Haiku?

Well, someones been doing their exercises. I love the way this piece looks, and also "pumping gas in Manassas" the last lines at the end of S1 & S2 should be eliminated. Lines 3,4, & 5 in S2 need tiobe re-worked slightly. S3 needs to be re-worked. Sounds like a hurried after-thought.

Who knows! We might all just be mice in a lab. Making the best of it is always a creative act. We are happy in our delision and that's all that matters. Actually as I have stated 1,000x's this site has done wonders for me. Glad to help.

I braced myself for the punch, you were certain to deliver.

Oh my, what a difference that makes. Who'd a thunk it.

I can always count on you to make things interesting. You communicate emotion through concrete images, my favorite.

Typo last line.
Re: a comment on The Thought Of It by Christof	10-Oct-02/7:34 AM
the question mark is a good idea.
Re: The Thought Of It by Christof	10-Oct-02/7:32 AM
"We were thinking of" you end the line on a preposition, and I my mind expects a new thought afterward.
Re: The Thought Of It by Christof	10-Oct-02/7:23 AM
lines 4,5, & 6 are confusing. The last image I believe would work better if you replaced 'Like' with 'All' the poor dear really is a prisoner.
Re: a comment on A Soldier's Promise by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:52 PM
Your words are just so condescending. I realize now you don't mean them to be, but they truly are.
Re: a comment on A Soldier's Promise by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:42 PM
She's innocent and needs your protection. you'll work hard for her and keep her safe from reality. She'll have your babies. Your the White Knight (ok, the Cafe con Leche Knight) and she's the damsel in distress. She is the purpose of your life, sounds very romantic but in reality it's a recipe for disaster.
Re: a comment on A Soldier's Promise by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:32 PM
If she's that way now she probably always will be. I didn't think of innocence in that connotation. You're right it would spoil everything. The images you provide are just so classically machista. You live in a similar environment that I've struggled most my life to escape and then try to change. So I jumped on your ass. Keep fighting and listening.
Re: a comment on Trembling Worry by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:22 PM
the women in your poem are delegated the classic roles of either virgin(innocence) or whore. The men are either villians or heroes. She fullfills your fantasy of the perfect wife, why?
Re: a comment on A Soldier's Promise by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:16 PM
You worship her beauty and her innocence. That is objectifing. If she had lovers previous to you would that spoil everything? You specifically articulate your desire for her to have your children. What if she could not? What if she didn't want children? Would that change your feelings for her? Don't be afraid to let her mature and experience life. you workon finding out who you are, she works on finding out who she is and the all the while you offer each other a non-judgemental friendship.
Re: a comment on Dilemma of a Crip by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:08 PM
Nobody hates you, least of all me. It's very intense around here. But if you stick it out you'll learn a lot in a short space of time. You are already ahead of the game because you're opening up to dialogue.
Re: a comment on Trembling Worry by Ninoy_Instigator	9-Oct-02/9:03 PM
Absolutely relevant. They colonized your indegenous peoples, stripped them of their culture and forced them to adopt their twisted patriarchal oppressive system. Just like they did here in the Americas. That's my point. Like it or not your belief system and gender philosophies are heavily tainted with their bullshit. Women don't need your protection. They need your unconditional love and friendship.
