Reign Of Vanity Comments

This is a remarkable poem! It gives me an shining insight into the feminine mind as that mind assesses and responds to world with its often unfair expectations in terms of gender. I like very much the scenes that literally pass by you over time, each one a component of your developing self-image, Especially that sweetest guy on the dance floor with his two ingenuous statements about your hair. Other scenes like the bar scene have a blunt honesty. Women are a mystery to men (I've elucidated the obvious!) I used to ask my twin sister for advice in how to approach a woman - she couldn't help me, alas. I should have looked for signals in the world around me as you have recorded in this poem. Above and beyond being a gracefully, honestly, deeply written poem, this writing could really HELP a struggling adolescent of either gender negotiate their way through mixed society. If I were still a high school teacher, I'd give this poem to students I perceived could use its wisdom (and I don't use that word WISDOM carelessly!) . Great title by the way.

And the world, yeah, I can make the world fall in love with me. I am already part of that world!
