i am leaning heavily towards doing poetry...i'm not sure, though. I'm not really super into poetry, I haven't done much before, but the teacher thinks (based on prose of mine that he's read) I should.

Aestheticism is the theme/concept bouncing around at the moment. all about how ugly the world is, and how our senses are so dulled we are content with that uglyness. this can lead into a bunch of different things, like pop -vs- high culture and the effect of middle class complacency on a meaningful life. it all seems a bit cliché to me, though. :P and i have no idea how to poem-ify it.
