That's what I meant by the fake sentiment. It's pretending to be so deep and mature but as you say, it's just someone who's attracted to a pretty girl. And, despite pretending otherwise, this jackass is definitely judging the others on their shallow choice.

Even if you take it as bad casting or the clumsy metaphor I mentioned, he's absolutely not unique at all. Any relationship beyond one with the girl in the porno video you're watching involves more than just appearances and involves personality compatibility. Guys don't talk about this at the pub because it's weird; shallowness is, to some extent, expected. It's not a heart-to-heart discussion.

Perhaps why that's weird would be a good subject for his next poetry. As it is, this is just "hey I'm not judging you cretins for being pathetically shallow, I'm just saying I'm so much better than you because I uniquely see beyond physical attributes and lack the social skills to realise that I'm not unique and I'm taking a pub conversation way too seriously and you guys are never inviting me out again are you?".

Bah. I'm actually annoyed now. Why has anyone upvoted this? I'm not judging you guys for being pathetically shallow, I'm just saying I'm so much better than you because I almost uniquely see beyond the smulch.

The stone conservatory is a drooling idiot, the window slit is the idiot mouth, the weather stains are the drool... not a slow trickle, just the hanging saliva. The weather stains are water, but standing in for saliva as the window is standing in for the mouth.

I wish I'd started off by quoting Poetry, I didn't like my first response

did more research, this guy doesn't have OCD, he's just a slam poetry performer and actor. Watched several of his other poems and he uses a different persona for each poem's theme. From sitting smoking a pipe to dressing in drag for a comedy one, to stuttering performing a King "speech" poem to this OCD act he put on.

decent actor I guess. But after seeing his website and learning he didn't have ocd, it sorta changes it.

take away any empathy,human understanding or compassion and we get troglodytes such as @cluhlenbrauck.he represents reverse evolution.

@brycewi19 how would you classify bi-polar?
what definitive test is given to diagnose this condition.
and when diagnosed..what is the best medication to help control/counter-act its debilitating effects?

@chingalera
i quite like your idea of bi-polar.
next step in evolution to adapt to the inherent slavery in our current slanted system.
has a certain poetry to it.

G'damn British took all the poetry jobs

Yeah, a refreshing break anytime to hear the cadence, tone, color, of someone who can interpret poetry well...Even better if it's her own work, because as we all know, the cardinal rule of poetry is NOT TO READ YOUR OWN WORK...if you suck at it, which MOST do.

Thank god the poetry slam is DEAD!

Dear poetry slammer...
....Don't angrily generalise about other people.

It's how this whole thing got started...

Initially I had the same reaction. Then it occurred to me that this isn't "homosexuals making generalizations", it's just one person making really shallow and trite observations. A performer who doesn't have the imagination or wisdom to find deeper truths. And that performer happens to be a young gay person who hasn't yet gotten past the "self obsessive" stage of coming out. I'm guessing it would be hard to have a conversation with this woman about anything other than her sexual identity.

This is the slam poetry equivalent of a comedian getting on stage with hackneyed material:
"hey, what's up with airport security? AMIRIGHT"
"you ever notice how white people dance all bad? AMIRIGHT"

I don't get how this was slam poetry either. Is it because she repeated the same line 3 times at 1:30? Does slam poetry mean repeating yourself, sounding angry and not rhyming?

This performance makes me think that the Women of the World Slam Poetry 2013 competition had no more than 3 entrants and at least one of them was a mute.

Only in slam poetry can an angry woman at a bus stop cause so much introspection. "Rejection never sounded so sweet"... thanking his lucky stars he dodged that bullet.

Dear women, you have emotions that cause people to pause and care. When I see you crying, it makes me want to slap you. Some people are forced into their heads to confront their demons when they don't even know what they are...

All of my socks have holes in them and they're colors I can't quite describe and I don't know if I'm even wearing them sometimes. But I know one of my socks when I see it and I know by careful discernment what foot to put it on.

SLAM POETRY TO YOUR FACE, CUNTS.

Dear Bitch;
Sorry to hear you're angry and gay, that's what slam poetry is for, carry on.
