Today's Muse : Dough-Cat-in-a-Jar

Someone asked if the poem "Green/Red" was in reference to the girls who fantasised about my little brother.

Um, no. Geez.

It is disturbing to think about, but... I don't. Not really. Occasionally I put on the obligatory show of shock/horror/outrage to amuse and entice giggles. But the entire issue is moot, really. These girls will move on to dreaming about other people.

The poem is a undisciplined, confusing mess. When I write poems I don't think, which is the problem, to me. I just aim to purge whatever feelings I have at the time in as few words as possible.

Because of that, stupid me, I told someone I didn't write it. Ach.

What is the poem about?

The empty space in the centre of a chestnut.
