better to comment on your own blog at 3:30 than on someone else’s. or maybe that’s backwards? it’s 9 o’clock and i haven’t eaten dinner yet — now that’s crazy. also, benazir bhutto was killed — again, crazy, but i’m using that word in a different way.

So, either I’m mistaken, or you think my teeth are white….!!! Crest Total Whitening will do that to/for you.

But (unless I am mistaken), YOU are wrong about something: I do indeed listen when you tell me I’m wrong, and you should tell me freely. See, listening and agreement are two separate things entirely. I probably do listen AND agree, but the context, ideology, and reasoning surrounding these so called wrong ways of thinking differ greatly, thus creating the “wrong” way.

Mind you, “wrong” is subjective. Reality isn’t singular but rather always correlated to the interpretation of said reality. My reality and your reality are to very different things for the same set of factual events.

This is, of course, unless I’m mistaken.

Heh. I was trying to not make them overwhelmingly related, but, y’know. They are, so to speak.

Christ, why am I commenting on my own blog at 3:30 in the morning?

i like some of this poem very much; to my untrainedness, it seems like the narrating voice (purposefully?) loses some of its coherence around the lines
“you is me and / thine and thee and fee and fee / fi fo fum”. as if there were two (or more) poems in this poem.

also, have you compared this poem to the first poem you tagged “Poetry” here?
