I emailed my poem (in one of the earlier drafts) to a friend. His response was that it was "way, way too dark and despairing." This was my emailed response to his comments. When I read it again half a year later, I thought it was funny and thought there might be some women out there who would appreciate it. :-)


I found it incredibly uplifting.

It would be fun to make a webpage called "Angel's Shrine to Men" that
has the final, hopefully polished, version of that poem, and an
animation that has a naked woman and lots and lots of blood in it.

Wow.  I'm sure all I need is the appropriate self-help book, a 12-step
program or a patch or something.  "Do you still crave men, those
emotionless, self-absorbed, neurotic, soulless losers?  Ask your doctor
about the new skin patch from Johnson & Johnson.  Within a few weeks
you'll be as free and happy as a lesbian."
