I’m not an expert in sex.
I haven’t read many poems. Being stuck in this bleak house most of the day leads me to thinking and thinking leads me to writing. So, I’ve been keeping a journal for a while now and there are things I know.
I don’t know a lot of things, but the things I know I know a lot about.
I write down whatever I’m feeling or what’s been happening, even when I’m not sure what’s been happening.
It helps. Sometimes I just have to get it out of me.
Ejaculate.

Measuring sex against poetry, against a kind of productivity. Double meaning for the title: awesome.
Suggestion:
-Perhaps rewording the last bit of the following line: “I know I know a lot about.” Would doing so improve clarity of the sentence?
Good use of this metaphor!

Thanks so much for the great feedback! The phrase “I don’t know a lot of things, but the things I know, I know a lot about.” could easily be fixed with just a comma. It was a simple mistake or unplanned piece of my journal. However, using I know twice in a sentence, for this particular sentence anyway, is totally normal and acceptable. First, I say there are things I know. Then, I say I know a lot about these things. I just put them in one sentence. I hope that makes more sense!
