You ever think about that word, Per-Verse. Per meaning apiece or according to and verse meaning poetry. Maybe the apiece is where they get the deviant meaning. Poetry according to ??? an interesting conjecture. Sapho wrote erotic poetry on the island of Lesbos. I haven’t read any of the poems {I’m not really into Greek 🙂 }, but I’ve heard that they were very romantic poems as well. I don’t consider lesbians as a group as perverse, they’re getting more open about their lifestyle and being accepted as mainstream, and I don’t hear much about modern lesbian poets. I do consider myself as somewhat perverse, I’m a poet and didn’t know it?
I suppose one could write a definition of perverse as it relates to the unexpected, unexplainable, actions of some. In that regard I think of Steve Martin in Father of the Bride. He is sent to the store to get hot dogs and buns. The hot dogs are ten to a package and the buns are eight to a package. Then he flips put and starts ripping open packages. In some ways I shop like a guy, in and out, get it fast then go away. That is not true in grocery stores. I linger over the melons, check to see how firm the cukes and celery are, maybe pick up a tomato, check to see if there is a good pear, and buy a rump roast. I might ask how juicy the sausages are, depends on my mood. If I get that I’ll need Miracle Whip too.
There is one thing that really bugs me at the stores. The trash bags are 30 gal bags. I can’t find any 30 gal trash cans. They’re all 32 gal. What gives? Oh yeah, I need to get condom-mints too. Actually there is a bacon flavored condom.
Hm, I’ll have to preview this. That’s an unusual address.
One of my cousins described our great uncle as being full of piss and vinegar. I thought that was a rather colorful phrase with lots of potential visualizations. I also thought it was a negative description, I was wrong. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=piss%20and%20vinegar
Part of it is negative anyway. Hm, I must’ve posted that link on facebook at some time. Some of my friends liked it. Drinking vinegar is a bit intense, and although vinegar is said to have healthful properties I can’t imagine drinking much of it straight. Some people say piss has healthful benefits too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy
The last part of that page talks about the presence of melatonin in morning piss, and the difficulty of doing a double blind experiment. The mind reels with possible comments to that,{ Hey this doesn’t taste like MY piss! Who’s piss is it?}
I don’t know any poems about drinking piss or vinegar, at the site where I used to blog I did run into a blog with poetry about scat. He didn’t really seem to like visitors or comments. I have noticed that people with fairly extreme fetishes don’t generalize. A person with a leather fetish won’t substitute latex, Emetophiliacs aren’t into other bodily substances as a rule.
I guess I’ll stop before I gross out too many people. Remember, reading about something does not mean you want to do it.
