This was supposed to be another ‘But is it Art?’, but it didn’t quite turn out that way.
As always, Tati came to the party in a pugnacious mood, ready to smash Tony with her witty questions. And, boy, did she ever! They discussed women’s bodies and women’s rights. They even discussed Greek mythology and Tony’s childhood. (One could almost say that these sound pretty similar, at least whenever Tony talks about his childhood.)
During the discussion Tati called Tony ‘a misogynist creep’ and Tony called Tati ‘a good egg’. They used the word ‘fuck’ one time, and the word ‘breast’ three times. Tati even taught Tony a new word. Yep. ‘Litotes’.
Well, anyway…
The post was ninety percent ready, but then suddenly this pain in the ass that is called ‘Tati’ declared that everything discussed so far was bullshit. She claimed that actually there was nothing to discuss and that they were wasting their time. Tony nearly broke down crying. (Okay, he actually did.)
So, what did Tati then do? She scribbled a short poem and ran away. When Tony finished blubbering and dried his manly tears, he read the poem…
…then cried some more. Such beautiful sentiments! Tati did have a warm, beating heart full of emotions after all! Aw! Tony decided to run this on the blog anyway. (And began to plot his revenge for the next ‘But is it Poetry?’ discussion.)
Medusa (asps lick her tears away)
a comb has lost its cuspids
a myth has lost its essence
a maiden is stuck between
youth and senescence

Reading this, I was reminded of the scene between Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello, in “A History of Violence”. That scene, though, was physical, not verbal.

I didn’t know Litotes either. It’s not at all useless!

‘Litotes’ is a wonderful word. Also, that cartoon breaks my heart (in a good way).

The English are, of course, well-known (notorious?) for using litotes. As for the poem, it definitely reached the waste bin first throw!😜

Here I was enjoying the “Sad”usa until Tati comes along with her words. How does she do whatever she does?

Misogyny and manly tears? Wait, something’s not adding up… 😮
Well, I am glad it worked out in the end. Tolerance is the key here. 😀 Good post…. And the poem of course.
