IQ Test—Question 6: Does it still hurt?


A. And when the nightmare had ended we realised the nightmare hadn't been a dream, after all. The dream was that the nightmare had ended. 
B. Let's be homeless again, but do it right this time. Build a fort and burn the bridges down. Learn to respect the cold and bring a guitar—see what songs and revolutions our hunger can inspire. 
C. There's not enough future anymore. 
D. A barefoot family drama
     gave two fingers to eternity,
     two miniature lovers to posterity
     and two hours sleep to virginity. 
     —I want to cut your face off!

     Batman held on to her broken body
     as blood made a cape for her back
     and a halo for her head. 
     
     Their sharp teeth were shark's teeth
     through marzipan and little 
     sausages on sticks.
     But we love and love and love again,
     forever and ever and ever.

Interesting, but this poem feels like a list and not something substantial.

I mean, what can I say, I think you're probably right. It's definitely a list of some sort. Sometimes I find the concept around the poem more substantial than the concepts within it. Ideally, I suppose, both concepts (inner and outer) will be inextricably linked. I don't think I quite got there with this one.

Thanks for commenting. I appreciate that.
