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.
I absolutely love the pacing of your first stanza. This experiment WORKED!
