i am a work in progress but i'm still a piece of art
the new me saved the pieces from the old who fell apart
an amalgamation of influence
a groundbreaking discovery
big red curtains with gold accents to modestly cover me
passerby are free to look but please don't get too close
it's not because i'm fragile
it's because i'm grandiose
don't feel compelled to worship on your hands and knees
you're just wasting time holding up the line
a donation would appease
a collage of picture perfectness
the mona lisa envies
my canvas was hand made and my frame worth countless pennies
take your time witnessing beauty and gaze upon perfection
have a moment of silence but please spare me the affection
and don't mind me when i feel the need to make one more correction— LEW
