Ignition.

"Hey..."

Progression.

"How you going?"

"Want to go somewhere together?"

"I never want to be without you."

Zenith.

"I love you, too."

Regression.

"I'm busy then..."

"Let's have a break..."

Nadir.

"I never want to see you again."

Cool little piece wrapped in a nutshell. How many times that happens before you get stuck with the same old monotony and eyerolling, hair-pulling but you can't seem to be without them feelings.

I like this idea (it works perfectly in, for example, 9 Songs), but don't think it's adaptable to a terse poem in your mode. This looks like a precis to a no less discursive work in a different form.

This is all done from the womans point of view.

Ignition is the stage where you say the first word.

Progression is building up to being partners.

Zenith is the peak of the relationship. You might notice how I asses the "too" to the sentance [sp? I've had no sleep in too long I can't think straight].

Regression as she loses interest

Nadir is the lowest possible point.

I didn't need an explanation.

Hey man don't take everything I say so personally, the explaination wasn't only for you.

I think it's great when someone can write from another perspective besides their own and switch sexes or whatever. I understood the whole process of the piece, but didn't realise it was from a woman's point of view. Maybe that's why I was so tuned to it. Good job getting in touch with the feminine view.

What about that seemed to be me taking it personally?

I = personally.

I was just offering an explanation to people and you were like "I don't need one". Well great, thanks for that.

Anyway, I don't care anymore, I cared for like half a second.

Fine, I'll restate it: nobody needs an explanation. If they think that they do, it's not up to you to explain it. You made it; it should already have everything that makes it comprehensible in it. If you don't feel it has that and that it requires explanation, rewrite it. Or, still better, sit on it a while longer before posting it.

And saying 'I' does not mean that I took it personally. It means what it says: I didn't need an explanation. Not that I took the explanation as being directed towards me.

Finally, it takes more than like, half a second to write out a post.

Infinity thanks for the explination. I had no idea what it was, until you explained it. I reread it.. and popped out at me.

Intresting piece. Definately not something i would come up with.
