This was actually really good. sort of universal, a lot of us could relate. Not much else to say...well done, though, Brad.

Wow, I really liked this! And I could relate to what you're saying.
some crit:

classrooms are too small
the chalkdust always invades my nostrils *invades...hmmm, good word. I hate that! It's so itchy...*
and the professors spit like
madagascarian roaches *Ouch.*
and it used to be bearable
and i used to be able to smile at the little notes you passed me *way to flow into the main topic smoothly! That was an awesome transition!*

Basically you described school and then started talking about your *girl*friend. Cool. It sounds great

but fuck this
i'm not yours *That's cute. It goes back to the whole possessive thing we discussed earlier*
and i don't know when i started
being so subversive to your
whims

Cute. I liked that. Even the expletive seemed in place.

perhaps if you could be collected
on white paper made in south america
transport yourself here and
become required reading i would care
to thumb through your rough edges
and like the little cuts you leave me with

*I like it. You bring school and the *girl* together really smoothly. It's nice*

perhaps if you could be stored
in adiabatic containers and
released into the air for me to observe,
i would care to intoxicate myself *Intoxicate...good word! sounds awesome*
with your unwanted presence *ouch*
and fall helpless to your laugh

Sweet. I like the comparasins here.

perhaps if you could be a little less appealing
in black&white photographs and
start being as bloody and fragile *good job, I like how you made it just a touch gory. It gives the poem texture.*
as everyone else
i would be able to rip my eyes off you
and start studying.

*awesome...*

god fuck this and fuck august. *August? is she a girl or what? because you're talking about...march*

get me out of march *This doesn't seem to flow so well with teh rest of it, but it's still good*



Overall, it's a great poem. Really simple, and sweet. I liked it. Good job!

Very...detailed:-D

"in black&white photographs and"
Shouldn't there be a space in there?

I didn't particulary care for the first line, neither the first two in the second stanza...just seemed kind of elementary...



Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?
