Gazel poem: Confusion

I'm at an uphill intersection in what I know to be Seattle, idyling in confusion.
Suddenly we're spurting aimlessly down a dirt road in a pickup heading toward confusion.
A storm approaches fast on the horizon and I turn back to where the sun had been and only see confusion.
It's late at night, but in the street a boy rides his tricycle in circles, creeped out, I turn back in confusion.
I'm under the sea, somehow breathing, up or down? and once again, as if chose by some unseen force, confusion.
I pull a sliver of grass from the bottom of my foot through the top of my head, confusion.

On the verge of full blown pickleage my sleeping mind wakes into a state of confusion.

rant

Have you ever fallen in love with just a smile? or one of those half smiles that just a mouth stretch smirk with dimple half-frames? or even what someone represents to you? It pains everyone in the end when the single beautiful feature of an otherwise flaw riddled human being starts to unravel on both ends. it's the worst for us half-denial narcissists who falls in love with someone for reflection of ourselves we see in the twinkle of their eyes. It's this love that makes us fall in and out of love like changing clothes (not everyday at least).

I'm done with this, its about my friend Frank by the way

Up for scientific study,

I've made an apparently mundane observation that I've discussed overly in depth with some of my guy-friends (yeah that's what we call each other). Why do women get more attractive as the weather improves? It always happens, probably all around the world; fall, meh, winter--ugly, spring--better, summer--to hell with the indoors.

I proposed some theories in many a buzzed rant:

1. Its warm out, witch means more women outside in the first place and more women means more attractive ones. (aka, hibernation hypothesis.)

2. It's warm out, therefor, more men outside to notice the attractive women who were always outside and just not being seen by us.

3. Warmth equals less clothes. Many attractive women bundled up are harder to notice as layers conceal curves. (Theory dis proven, as I've seen many women in short shorts and tank tops even when it is freezing outside) (aka, Relativity theory...right)

4. The sun generally makes people more attractive on both sides. More vitamin D makes the males of the species more optimistic and less likely to think everything under an overcast light is ugly. The sun makes people look better, girls get all tan, wear less clothes, get more exercise, and all that other good stuff. Winter means fat and pale and tired looking., usually.

These are all my current working theories. I've heard all these and more from guys. What about girls? How can I say this in the most scientific way possible...What makes you girls better looking in the spring and summer?

Yeah, that'll do.
