Do you think Johnny Cash singing a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" is the funniest thing ever, or the coolest thing ever?

I propose that any theme which can be formulated X = -X is nice. If poemranker ever becomes a literary movement - and I've no doubt it will - it will be characterized by its endless and increasingly unrealistic iterations of X = -X themes. Mark my words.

It was originally 'A Night-Watchman's Journey', but I couldn't fit enough about Night-watchmen in, so I dropped the idea. Suffice to say, the language is not at all Negro.

Hey, thanks so much and duly noted! Incidentally, it was originally after the cold season, which doesn't sound nearly as long and hard, but which does sound like an allergy medication advertisement.
on The Air That Escapes His Lungs. by cleverdevice

When you write these poems, do you give any consideration to how they work in real-life, or is it all about the allegory? To wit: "The air that escapes his lungs shall not return," - The truth is that it probably will sooner or later, especially if he's in some kind of phone or porn-viewing booth. I just think it would help for you to keep that kind of thing in mind, is all. You know, write poems about things that could actually happen.

Mezcal and tequila are 99% the same thing. When I was in Mexico the Mexicans I knew occasionally used 'tequila' describe both.

The easy line here would be "Too bad this poem wasn't an overwhelming sensation." I choose the high road.

To wit: "At the time, director James Cameron was married but having an affair with one of the film’s stars, Linda Hamilton. One evening, while riding in a limo with Cameron, Hamilton, and others, Schwarzenegger suddenly lifted Hamilton onto his lap and began fondling her breasts through the very thin top she was wearing. The witness says, “I couldn’t believe Cameron didn’t have the balls to tell Arnold to get off his girl. The whole thing made me sick.”
"A female producer on one of Schwarzenegger’s films tells of a time when her ex-husband came to visit the set. When she introduced the man to Schwarzenegger, the star quipped, “Is this guy the reason why you didn’t come up to my hotel room last night and suck my cock?”
"A woman who went to the set of 1996’s Eraser recalls the friend she was visiting there being asked to retrieve Schwarzenegger from his trailer for a shot that was ready to roll earlier than expected. “He asked me if I wanted to meet Arnold, and I said sure. When we opened the door to his trailer, Arnold was giving oral sex to a woman. He looked up and, with that accent, said very slowly, ‘Eating is not cheating.’ I met him again about a year later and asked him, in German, whether or not eating was cheating, and he just laughed.”"

"During many of their sexual encounters, the NEGRO stood leaning against the doorway of the bathroom across from the study, which, he told Ms. LOUISA, eased his sore back... Ms. LOUISA testified that her physical relationship with the NEGRO included oral sex but not sexual intercourse. According to Ms. LOUISA, she performed oral sex on the NEGRO; he never performed oral sex on her. Initially, according to Ms. LOUISA, the NEGRO would not let her perform oral sex to completion. In Ms. LOUISA's understanding, his refusal was related to "trust and not knowing me well enough." During their last two sexual encounters, both in 1997, he did ejaculate. According to Ms. LOUISA, she performed oral sex on the NEGRO on nine occasions. On all nine of those occasions, the NEGRO fondled and kissed her bare breasts. He touched her genitals, both through her underwear and directly, bringing her to orgasm on two occasions. On one occasion, the NEGRO inserted a cigar into her vagina. On another occasion, she and the NEGRO had brief genital-to-genital contact."

"Colliding against my will of misfortune" is the main bad part. The rest is okay.
