POOPING IS A THEME

>> No.899756

And before someone says "LOLPOETRYFAGGOT", I'm experiencing mild writer's block. Just need a theme to think about to get the ball rolling.

>> No.899760

Sex.
And.
Death.

>> No.899761

The major theme I explore in my work is physical transgression, post-humanism where it meets sexuality. I'd like to see more of that.

I wasn't making fun of sex, I was making fun of quoted post.

>> No.899802

>>899795
I still think you were suggesting that ''big words'' aren't fitting when talking about sex. I think sex is important enough to discuss seriously.

>> No.899809

>>899802
No, I wasn't. I was insinuating that you were purposely using unnecessarily complex words to say a very simple thing.

>> No.899812

>>899809
Well, it is sometimes necessary to use complex language if you wish to accurately convey your thoughts. I obviously look at this topic with some reverence and experiment, so it really isn't I LIKE WRITIN ABOUT FUCKIN..I mean, yeah, that's part of it.
