Styles Are



Styles are silly

spooka
Things.  Appearing now

and then as dreams
Dreamt up by other Minds

down through time...

This modern thing
Was is then/ is now?

A stupid cover [in]g
gathering of fools

Uneeded, unheeded
much by -

the poor
the destitute

Must Look Right
Must Wear This Not That

[the robins do not change
Nor the antelope
or tiger]

Save the everlasting
style for - 20 dollars

A month,
for they are [always the same]

[unhidden] by that that
Makes a change

for better /for worse
Not all [bodies]
look good in that range

Non-[tiger skin]/ cloth

We will not save
it for a year

It was so right, so Enshrined
main Line entwined...

Redesigned [sunshine]
dollar signs - Genuine!

Now all gone...
