  in an english class i had last semester, we read this article about
a poetry class. the teacher had left an assignment on the board from
a different class, and when the poetry class came it, they saw it and
thought it was a poem (it was just a list of names) and started 
analyzing it. THe teacher let them go with it, and they eventaully
pulled a lot of "deep" meaning from it. just a bunch of words and 
numbers (author's names and page numbers i think they were actually).
 basically anyting can be percieved as art and people can enjoy it.
just like music, visual art, whatever... i heard some construction
equipment on campus the other day and i swear the banging and clanging
was just as cool sounding as any industrial tracks i'ev heard recently.
would've been cool to sample and loop as a rhythm track.
   so what's my point? i dunno... but basically if people enjoy it or
get meaning out if it, it qualifies as art (in this case poetry). and
yes i agree that there's so many cliches and overworked themes that it
gets pretty lame sometimes. but i'm sure there's SOMEONE out there that
has an original perspective on love... so keep trying, people.

love is a passing emotion
