Hmm, the old if a tree falls in a forest does it make a noise conumdrum. The answer in this case is yes. This is an ironic deconstruction of the solipsism caused by the atomisation of society as a result of neo-liberal free market economics. Or possibly just a beautiful peace of whimsy.

The point is, it's pretty selfish to assume the world wouldn't exist without you. I took the poem to be an ironic assertion of this fact. I also think it is pretty whimsical, somehow, which I think is often a good thing in poetry.
yep.
I like it? What the hell did NJ say? OH, I got it.
This question has been asked for centuires, and formulated much better than you do.
again, i cant relate, maybe if you wrote more about porn or stars, or porn stars!
An interesting image. A contemporary drowsy take on an age old question. The pessimistic wording is what intrigues me the most, as the question is rather cliche.
Yes it would.
perhaps. a very zen-like poem. excellent job! 10 atrs 185 view(s)
