Like Vomit

[bean]

Brains on the wall,

a fresh coat-

done by me.

I can't paint anymore.

Am I allowed to laugh?

[bean]

Yes. I like to leave my work up for interpretation. Each person will have their own idea of the poem's meaning. I know what it means to me, but it could have the opposite meaning to someone else.

[Brenda Starrr]

Okay. I just didn't want to offend.

[DarkenedCharm]

I am glad you leave it all up to interpretation. What I interpret from it comes from my long history of learning tons from my mother, who is a psychiatric nurse. It's a great poem, to be sure. But I won't be laughing.

[bean]

Thanks. I was actually feeling suicidal when I wrote it, so there is the obvious meaning there, but then there are days when I'm really happy, and it means something completely different. Like I said, each person will see it differently, there is no right or wrong interpretations/reactions to my work. You see it with your life expereinces.

wow..

see for me i took it as "you" murdered someone, and were cuffed, dragged and strapped to a table in a ward somewhere..

i guess i just told on myself, somehow..

[bean]

I like hearing other people's interpretations....an interesting take on it, Sybil. I hadn't thought of that

[Guest Megalicious]

I dont know why ... I keep coming back to this poem bean .... its so sad and yet i can help but read it atleast once a day .... I reminds me of Jim carrolls Sure...... which is a poem that is very short to ....which allows the reader to get their own feel for it and interpret in a way they can relate to.... in its irony.. I really like it bean .. though it often makes me sad .....

[bean]

I'm literal, so I picture a giant brain painted on the wall with you laying on the ground passed out next to the wall.
