"that's how hate works-it thrills you with it's deep heat."
I adore this line of the poem. It ties in with the litteral meaning. The litteral meaning of this poem is pure hate about everything, but hate starts from one tiny itty bitty tobject, and then explodes into one huge massive black hole.
"again and again I let hate get pregnant and give birth to hate which gets pregnant and gives birth again"
This line flat out says that hate grows. In the subtext, this person needs to go somewhere else to get their feelings out, thats why they go to a hotel. If they get their feelings out in their own home, other people may get involved, causing more hate. This applies to my life in many ways. When I'm angry, i normally drive somewhere really quiet so I can hear myself scream. My scream almost scares me, so I stop and realize how dumb it was to be mad to begin with.
Hi Alena,
ReplyDeleteI like what you say about about the literal meaning: "hate starts from one tiny itty bitty object, and then explodes." The speaker personifies that kind of selfish hate and we are all very familiar with it. I also like that you include lines from the poem -- this helps us "see" what you see. Try, though, to integrate the lines into the text and write each blog as a mini-essay -- complete with an introduction, middle, and end. Does this make sense?
