Last Tuesday's joint was pretty niftily broken down by Big Bru on my message/bored. For those who didn't see, I took the liberty of copying and pasting hi response to last Tuesday's Snippet...
"Chick was lookin for a good man that had nothing to hide with no emotional scars but kept finding dudes with split personalities that had big dreams with just a dollar to their names. And the whole time she didn't realize she couldn't get a good man cause she was up to no good." ~ Bru
Okay, for the most part he had it. In the poem, I made it clear that she was a good person, but had poor guidance and life examples when it came to finding a good man for herself. This was not a woman bashing poem, but a poem that shed light on some of the confusion women go through in the quest to find a good man, even a successful woman like the subject of this poem. Anyways, on to the breakdown, hope you guys read comics a bit...
The Selena reference was correlated to the movie, Selena, and to Selena Kyle aka Catwoman, who was a love interest of Batman/ Bruce Wayne's. The masks and psychological bags were referring to Bruce Wayne's demented way of handling the ghosts of his past, the emotional baggage, having a completely diferent identity to handle/resolve problems, etc. Also, Bruce has deep pockets, much like Harvey Dent did (he was a prominent lawyer), but not as well paying as Bruce's billionaire status. She was looking for a big baller without the head problems to take care of her, or at least a player that would chip in with a few bills...but kept winding up with duplicitous dudes...hence the Two Face metaphor. Two Face suffers from schizophrenia, and was formerly known as Harvey Dent. Ah, read a comic book or two in the DC universe if you're still a little thrown.
