We Will Stop

A beautiful man.  Did you mean that?
A beautiful.  Man.  Could I be that?
Unusual phrasing used on me
Is growing alarm to huge degree.

Aesthetic regard must need a tweak,
Be rescued from skew that's too unique.
Appraisal of crap as valued thing
Is silly and dashes clout you bring.

Obsession with having new approach--
The topic I think we ought to broach--
Informs what you do.  You choose to bear
Identity built on seeming rare.

Becoming your prize or stylish find
I liken to knives aligned behind
My stature--which you could slice in half.
Depriving this really helps me laugh.

  2. This is positively Dostoevskian - looking for the trap-door on every stage.

  4. I love the complexity of this and especially the opening lines. The wrong adjective can really set one's mind a-spin, eh? :P
