Pardon be this tepid, but in truth, beauty, as pertains to men and women, bores me a bit today. And certainly, should you consider me beautiful, laugh. But ir premises the growth of a culture, that continues to collapse. Albeit this is only the mainstream. And it is not culture. To me it is such beauty, to many, has lost its nuance. It as if the flower has abandoned its seed. If only to lament it will never grow again. When I was nineteen, and diagnosed with the SLE, I realized it was differentiation that enticed me most of beauty. What I could feel and still not yet perceive. And yes, if I go Wilde, as I am wont, Bosie Lord Alfred Douglas was handsome. But he was also a student at Oxford. And he did coin that famous line. If you do not know it, read a book. Or watch Jude Law in the role. Yes, Oscars acumen exceeded Bosie, by far, but I wonder if he predicted the proliferation of this collapse? Dorian Gray didnt paint his own portrait. Thus, did he not already see? We make idiots of Imagos. I am no elitist. I have proliferated photographs on my page that would render me a hypocrite for this attestation. I have extolled countless women for their beauty. And sometimes I am in the mirage that mine garners more acolytes. In fact, it does. Still, in an era where people can define the word selfie and not somnambulist, is it any wonder there are poets who have never heard of Blake? In fact, no, that would be apocalyptic. And yes, I like that the boy from the tea room found me beautiful. I like that I have blue dahlias. I like the prospect of bridal modeling. I like that men say je taime to me. And yet I really only want to hear it from a firefly. But do not misconstrue. I adore that Michelangelos sonnets were for a woman he met in mind. Vittoria. The inflections, sublime. And lament I lack the irony or acumen of Benchley. Pulchrum Est Paucorum Hominum. Where is my black tulip?
