The first poem "What I Want", talks about how wakening up was "That to waken is to plunge through a trap door" he talkis about his ex as someone he hates and is glad she isnt part of his llife no more. In the poem " Hate Poem" she goes into detail of how much she hates him "I dissect you cell by cell, so that I might hate each one individually and at leisure." These two poems were written to I want to wake up in London on a spring morning and read in the paper that my ex- wife has received a lethal injection, courtesy of the state....but something went terribly wwrong and shes been left in vegetive state." than he follows a couple lines down and switches to how "wonderful to sit down with Maria at our favorite restaurant in Madrid." he constantly uses the negative events of his ex- wife with the positive events he remembers with multiple women. Throughout his poem he just uses the amusing hate theme and never reveals the reasons for their divorce, which leaves the reader wondering the many possibilities.

In the second poem by Julie Sheehan, she keeps the negativity. Her statements of hate and to the extreme and very detail measure of hate is impressive. Makes you wonder what cause so much hate towards that person? The poet states "My pleasant "Good morning": hate...you know when im sleepy iI nuzzle my head under your arm? Hate? These lines to me made me think she is still in a relationship with this person and has to pretend to enjoy his company, yet she is screaming with hate.
She goes on with different hateful statements and once again i come to a puzzling staement towards the end of her poem. It says "my, hate which can never have enough of you" she seems to hate him yet at the end she cant seem to let go of him either and might even enjoy the hatred feelings towards him. It isnt revealed either on why the hate? what happen in the relationship? why is she still with him if she hates him?
