girly-type in nyc. likes bright colors and shiny things. works in off-broadway theater, and thinks about it often. also slightly obsessed with television, music, feminism, knitting, politics. and hello kitty.

I try. I try to understand but metaphor wrapped in simile wrapped in allegory wrapped in analogy is too hard.
I feel like we need a poetry Tim Gunn to come in and tell people when they need to pull it back because it’s overworked.
Some of it is magical and wonderful and some of it…I get to the end and I’m all “wat?”
“No. Wat?!”
And yeah, I get the flow of the words and cadence and stuff but that, too, falls flat for me.
So I try to read it again and again:
“So you…are…talking about…wat?”
And then I go and watch the dubstep cat again.
this is going out to all my poet buddies out there.
