I love Atlas Shrugged! And I might love this poem even more than the book that provided the inspiration. This is going in my favorites.

i love your poems, especially this one. i usually resort to intimidiating boys with my morbid, malevolent personality and to me that is conquering them because i have too much sense to throw a punch(even though i would win) and not that much time to worry about if their grades are better than mine. Eventually, they'll learn that we're stronger than we look...

evilly sincere, w.w.

Decent piece of work, appropriate tone.

Weird juxtaposition of images with the "forcing the door open" and "cause their jaws / to drop in awe"- the phrasing seems sexual, like some sort of professional rape.

I'm glad to see something inspired by a decent book on here.
