- physical poetry -

i kinda thought that physical poetry has already been defined, and i'm right, as far as google is concerned. the idea is basically poetry that involves the physical body, sorta like performance poetry, a cross between theatre and poetry. that's one definition. another interpretation is that it's poetry that focusses on the physical world, as opposed to the more feeling/emotion-driven or metaphysical types of poetry (dealing with philosophy and what-not).

the way i use the term to describe my work is somewhat different, in that "physical" derives from physics (rather than vice-versa). in this sense, physical poetry is almost like that second "other than metaphysical" type of poetry, but with more of a scientific leaning. savvy?

p.s. Pirates of the Carribean is a good movie. Johnny is cute.
