"All Things In Parenthesis Are Meant (To Be Ignored.)"

by Amy Wustrin

So he says to me, he says:



"I

(want to get in your pants,

don't want to commit to you,

don't really think you're pretty enough for me,

wish you had bigger boobs and a smaller waist,

can't wait to go home,

can't wait till YOU go home,

always think of my ex-girlfirend when we kiss,

wish you didn't talk so much,

am embarassed to be seen with you,

will never really)

love you"



And I was, like, totally floored.

Welcome back? I know I've read this before. You may want to talk to the admin about this (if you lost your other password or something) as one person with two accounts is generally frowned upon. Just a heads-up. :)

I'm totally floored. Would you consider a counterpart sometime - like 'So I smiles a parenthesised smile and says to him...'?
Whatever - could not put this put-down down.

Congrats and bundles of starfire for being POTD. This is a great piece of work. I adore it for it's sadly truthful portrayal of that phrase. Brilliant;)

Posted by Ava Blu on 12/23/04 at 05:26 AM

This is so true of so many men. Well, at least we women always think it is! =) Adding this to my favs. Perfect!

Clever structure and captures a great deal of truth (compromises and lies and delusions).

This is a cynical gem, if such a thing exists.

Posted by Eli Skipp on 02/08/06 at 05:24 PM

This made me laugh. Very clever <3

I am totally loving this!! I think that (screw that dumb b*sta*rd he is a total jerk) you will get over him, if you don't ignore the ins of parenthesis. LOL

Posted by Nicole D Gregory on 01/23/08 at 02:56 PM

This is so well done! So true on so many levels and altough it seems by the look of it to be simple...it is so deep. BRAVO!!! ~N

Painful to the heart, but a treat for the mind.

Posted by Melissa Panther on 09/26/08 at 02:04 AM

Love your authentic expression here!

Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/07/09 at 04:41 PM

I often think that EVERYONE thinks in parenthesis- really good write that everyone can relate to

Posted by Allison Smith on 08/25/09 at 12:12 AM

OUCH!!

Posted by V. Blake on 11/21/09 at 02:17 AM

As though you need any more words of encouragement, this is amazing. In every way a poem can be amazing. Thank you.

Posted by Jolie Jordan on 11/13/10 at 12:37 PM

Fuck, yet again. This is such a strong woman's poem, I keep coming back for more.

Posted by Jody Pratt on 12/02/10 at 07:34 PM

Ah, a glimpse into the female mine...

Posted by Mo Couts on 06/01/11 at 07:10 PM

I've nothing to say that's not already been said...but wow, oh wow, oh wow!

I can't believe I never left a comment on this gem. Still a favorite!

Posted by Angie Jenkins on 04/29/13 at 11:13 PM

This is so incredibly true!!!! Story of my life recently. Thank you for saying it out loud!!

Posted by Rob Littler on 03/13/16 at 11:36 PM

...at least the last line wasn't "do" and all that ignored unsaid intensity wasn't a lifetime of animosity - and I LOVED the whole thing, justsoyaknow!
