i've decided to stop telling people that i'm a poet. especially people that i'm sleeping with. have slept with. that want to sleep with me. if sleeping of any kind is involved. no disclosing of the poetic tendencies. because once they know...they want you to write poems for them. or worse - they want to write poems for you. worse than that - they want to READ them to you, or make you read them, or some other such thing.
i can't take it.
