Writing has introduced me to a lot of very interesting and wonderful women here on AW. The most important thing to have if you want to be a great lover, is respect for women. So I vote Yes. The women here have taught me a few new things about that.
.Awash upon a barren spit of shale
condemned to stuff my salty mouth with kelp
Or left to rot and ponder unfair fate
Forsaken in Kolkata's leper hordes
Misunderstood, no tongue, no face, no name
denied that I exist, no hand to help
Or mocked, a failure, stupid, mean, ashamed
To watch my enemies accept awards
I'd let the four winds blow and choose my fate
among these terrors -- or another worse --
Than spend another hour at home with thee
pretending love: there is no harder curse.
