Not x rated at all in my opinion... although I may have a high tolerance...<BR>
<BR>
I thought this was filled with well chosen words and images that evoked the emotional and physical storm swirling through this poem. Well done! Thank you for sharing this poem with us,<BR>
<BR>
This was the most powerful part for me:<BR>
<BR>
"i like it most this way"<BR>
and i think<BR>
what alternate <BR>
universe<BR>
did i just wake up in<BR>
there is no sin<BR>
just opportunity<BR>
and no universe but this<BR>
and two lost in it<BR>
like in a sea<BR>
washed by a tsunami<BR>
in a japanese painting"<BR>

Chris,<BR>
You don't have to keep comin' up with new names! I know your writing because it always kicks ass. You have nothing to be ashamed of, man. You deserve many wonderful blowjobs. God knows you were deprived for three and a half years. I have to tell you this makes it easier for me to submit poems here again. <BR>
<BR>
Last night at Title Wave I traded in some books and got Down the Highway, a Bob Dylan bio, and a book on Wicca. At Wal-Mart I thought I left some bags behind so I went back and told them and they let me get the stuff I thought I was missing. Went home and found the stuff in a bag by the front door. So I have duplicate can openers, coasters, paring knives and In Touch Weeklys. And I am not ashamed.

To Misti and Chris;<BR>
Well there must still be feelings between you,<BR>
because I am observing in your writings - some<BR>
type of trying to hurt the other one -<BR>
and you wouldn't be doing that - <BR>
unless there were still deep feelings.<BR>
<BR>
It hurts me to watch you two hurting each other,<BR>
and worse yet, to watch you hurting yourselves.<BR>
<BR>
The opposite of love is NOT hate; but indifference.<BR>
<BR>
Hate is Love turned inside out.<BR>
<BR>
It's so obvious with you two.<BR>

JSG ... yeah, heh heh, heh heh, TWO of 'em!  Two stories and I haven't even been around there for two + years!  Shows the total lack of creativity there and the editor's girly-man love for me. I coulda written far funniner, more scathing stories - which I did (and sent 'em) just to prove how totally lame and uninspired those were.  Thaks for the link.

Hi! I never really introduced myself-- my name is Anna and I am looking for a new home to informally put my work out there for view. If anyone has any suggestions on my writing, I would love to hear them. I am active on another board, but things are kind of complicated and I think I need to move on. Misti pointed me to the blender in December and I got sucked up elsewhere, but I am back and looking forward to reading more of your poems.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>

Yeah, love and hate are connected - but I don't hate anyone. When I'm in love I write about it, and I've been coming to the Blender off and on for four years. I certainly don't want to hurt my ex - hence the (lame) usernames, but she's too smart and outs me every time anyway. We're definitely over like the Beatles, though. No reunion tour planned. But I wish her only the best - and mean it.<BR>

Be sure and read the comments all the way to the bottom of this. This is so funny. Just received it from my sister in Hawaii.
