"....Don’t date a girl who reads because girls who read are the storytellers. You with the Joyce, you with the Nabokov, you with the Woolf. You there in the library, on the platform of the metro, you in the corner of the café, you in the window of your room. You, who make my life so god damned difficult. The girl who reads has spun out the account of her life and it is bursting with meaning. She insists that her narratives are rich, her supporting cast colorful, and her typeface bold. You, the girl who reads, make me want to be everything that I am not. But I am weak and I will fail you, because you have dreamed, properly, of someone who is better than I am. You will not accept the life that I told of at the beginning of this piece. You will accept nothing less than passion, and perfection, and a life worthy of being storied. So out with you, girl who reads. Take the next southbound train and take your Hemingway with you. I hate you. I really, really, really hate you."

-Charles Warnke, "Don't Date a Girl Who Reads"

*there's swearing.  I apologize.  You can tell by it's style and the way you hear it all out loud in your head, tripping over itself, it's a bit of Slam... and the Slam poetry usually includes some language.  It also tends to be brilliant, full of incredible language that toys with words and images and leaves you laughing, and then speeachless. (And I find a lot of Slam Poetry uses the word 'ellipsis' - I think they like the sounds of the word.  And the ideal of being one. )
