Listen to poem:

*Image of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde poster by Wiki. That's Close Enough Shapeshifters, and or, shapeshifting ... preps our world always, A speck sans a cavass, ... materializes a work of art, At spans of reckoning, ... outlandish evolve viably. Simplistically, ... caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly, The explanative being ... the effects of metamorphoses, Influence of changing, on the surface ... ain't exclusive. The aspects of human versions, ... do we possess ourselves? Phases absorb one's absolutes, ... escapism amuses abstracts, Misshape is needless, ... our character assassinates us. The docile Doctor Jekyll ... and ominous Mr. Hyde, The tale tells induced chemicals ... freed the latter temperament, Stevenson, a mixed decrypt breed, ... Woolf faults, Hemingway hails. The Picture of Dorian Gray, ... Wilde's graphic inward peer, Retorts pundits, ... proxy masques wickedness, textured facades ethics, Books ain't moral or immoral, ... they're just well penned or naught. A star radiates ... cast hither, trimming and grooming 'rounds, Revolving amazeballs recasting orb's landscapes, ... picturesque, Bubblegum pops as its meaning ... is clearly intricate. Brief spells also have an effect, ... ravenous bears slumber, When pushed or at risk ... stimulates safeguards that ensure their species, The game plays out who's game ... prey or predator lives or dies. Transformations constants about ... subtle yet definite, Persona exploits cellular structure ... registers vividly, The former's substituted ... the latter assimilate. 2022 June 01 *11th Place* Shapeshifters and Shapeshifting ~~Anthony Biaanco: 2022 July 04 *HMS: 14,16,14 syllables x 8 stanzas
