This is such a great poem. The first line really gets your attention - "I think I broke Ulysses" - I mean, that's just good stuff. And I think my favorite stanza of them all is the second to last. That metaphor is so fantastic, of being onstage when you're in your bedroom. Keep writing! :)

God.I think I'm in love.You're able to look at yourself and create some beautiful thing, and I wish I could capture myself in a poem the same way.

Oh, you used two of my favorite words, askew and condescend. From the first line "I think I broke Ulysses" you are sucked into the poem. First lines are very important, as are last lines. You do both wonderfully.

That was nice... Well written, very much so, elegant somehow but not arrogant, and not self-conscious. Great imagery, very present, y'know? The flow was natural, smooth. And I like the tone, the vague disaffectedness, and the interesting reverse unrequited love... Very enjoyable.

Interesting poem. I liked the lines "I don't mind his idiocy./We're all illiterate when we're in love."
