I am not sure if FV intended those lines to be ``lesbo`` but even if they are, what is the problem? You say God save you from Lesbianism, I think you should think about all kinds of real threats to our lives in this day and world, rather than be so myopic about this one. I am a lesbian and let me tell you we don`t bite unless we are provoked!;) Amazing to see how narrow-minded some of the interactions are here. God save us from heterosexual, patriarchs!
Learn to be a little tolerant!

Fleshened Bones your piece is stiff as a ``on the rocks`` drink - just the way i like it. Do you have an email i could communicate with you on? Got somethings to talk about
Peace,

Hole walli Haveli Thank you all for the interacts. Perhaps, I can answer questions at a later point. Right now, i feel that it will define the story more or only serve to demystify certain complex cultural nuances.

My Fascination With The Bottle This is not worth a response

What Dreams Are Made Up Of mills and boons stuff! can you go beyond this ``girls like boy`` theme?

Oh So Vicious What in the hell is this all about? Gosh!

No need to educate her. I think that one should not put everything on a platter and educate those whochoose not to understand - let her find out more about it if she wants and let her do the work. In any case, I am sick of educating those who are not worth it, but this is my opinion. Hope Cairo is rocking with you there now! ;) go get `em girl!

Saminasha,
Although, mosquitoes have my arm and leg at this late hour, I have taken a trip to your ilog. So what is that all about? ``Bluegaze done right`` ??

You know what? I am inebriated and all I can think about is how people relate to one another or maybe not. Life is f****** strange, but it is what it is.

anti-depressant Re: # 27
Saminasha,
``injured outrage`` what is that all about? You make it sound as if I should be apologetic about something, so I ask you what is it that I should be apologetic about? Nonetheless, I am enjoying this, this trip of yours. This too in the sweltering heat and mosquitos biting me at this late hour on what is it, Thursday night, I presume. What is interesting about all of this is how you won`t let go of it... why is that if i may ask. And what do you get out of writing these nonsensical one-liners? Say something of substance and you will have my attention. But so far you have proved to be nothing more than these miserable mosquitos biting my arms and legs..argh and get away or i will get a repellant so strong that you will never be seen or heard!! So get away and be gone! And again, what are you on anyway?

anti-depressant Re: # 24
Saminasha,
What in the hell are you on? I think that Spirit and myself have tried to explain in so many ways what this is all about, but perhaps you just don`t WANT to understand. What is it that you don`t understand, precisely? I wonder where you are based and what your exposure is to gay issues. What is pejorative about being called a ``dyke`` or ``butch`` if i am one and feel comfortable with it, what is your issue with it? Or are you just doing this for lack of anything better to do?

Well what can I say? I don`t want to defend my work, because I don`t think that it`s all that great, anyway. What is actually more interesting is what has come out regarding it in all the interacts. Of course that includes you too. Now, however adolescent my comments may seem or for that matter anything I say regarding my poem, I do think that a piece of creativity whether it is good or bad is at times just that. As a friend of mine once told me if you analyze a butterfly by dissecting it, it will actually ruin it. So, please let the piece i wrote stay as it is, after all it`s an expression of my creativity and to change it or to justify it will kill its importance for me. I am not looking to make it technically sound in any way. It`s raw and i like it like that not because it is well written but because it`s true. Be gentle with it.

For a detailed response please see comments by Spiritofnow. Let me just say two things: 1. I did not ``complain`` about the editors, it was in my response to someone here that I mentioned what had happened.
2. Your comments are valid only because you have a right to your own opinion. I really don`t care whether people think that the piece I wrote is shitty or whatever. What matters is to be able to use creativity as a vent more than a commercial venture or for the sake of entertaining others. I hate being bound by traditional notions of writing. Whether the text has risen fully or not is subjective and will change from one person to the next, in any case. Funny thing is that your own opinion about this poem has changed from one interact to the next.
If you want to understand what is going on in the poem, Spiritofnow has explained it pretty well. You are no one to judge whether something is authentic or not, but let me say, this is coming out of personal experience. I relate to the word Butch, so it is my reality how can you tell me whether it is right or wrong?

anti-depressant Spiritofnow!!
Hey
Glad you joined! Thanks for the very detailed response to Saminasha. I could not have done it better myself.

anti-depressant Dear Saminasha,
The editors at chowk asked me to change the title of my poem which was, ``Anti-depressant for a Butch`` - i agreed to change this
The last line where it now says ``come`` was originally ``cum`` The rest I told them I did not want to tone down. comments?
