Confession


I write poetry to impress women. Between one and three in different capacities at any given time. Is that so wrong?

Comments:
That's odd. I write women to impress poems.

Damn--that's nowhere near as clever as I thought it would be.
 
No, I don't think it's wrong. I think it's sweet.
 
I don't think it's wrong either. :-)
 
I'm impressed. Is that so wrong?
 
Hmm. . . I've always found poetry to be something that alienates more than impresses in a social context.

Perhaps if I had a book.
 
*Blush*

A. D.: Once you have a book, will you carry it to social functions and keep "accidentally" dropping it?
 
Steve-

That question is so extremely hypothetical, I couldn't possibly say one way or the other.
:P
 
Well, it's even more hypothetical in my case, but I already know that baby will go with me to my 20th high school reunion.

*Whap*

"Oops! I've dropped MY BOOK again!"
 
Haha.
 
Okay, now let's be clear. One to three women at the same time or one to three women at different times or one to three women at the same time in different capacities....I think I lost track of my question:-)
 
Lacan would say that every speech act is made in one sense or another to please the other. We are all divided by our desire, parsed into speaking. It makes perfect sense that you write poems to impress women because you are driven by the desire to please the other through your speech act.

Wow, I'm a geek. But Lacan is hot, no matter how you frame it :)
 
One to three women at the same time in different capacities.

Sounds like Lacan knew what I was talking about better than I do.
 
I've always considered my poetry to be a romantic liability. But perhaps that's due to content. Maybe I should write more poems about my nice ass.
 
Note that I didn't actually say it was romantically helpful to me.

The world always can use more poems about nice asses.
