Beauty

I love seeing the best, even in the worst But I love better than worse Yes! I prefer good to bad A lot I’ve heard, Hmn, a lot I’ve had. A cut in flesh Wound(s) on your leg, Spots on face, Deformity in veins, All summed to equal pain… I care a little about these issues I see handsomeness in its best, even in “worst” cuts in flesh The spots and “faults” to me are awesome The folds on face, slowness in pace, Is all minus shame! Our flesh covers our bones How beautiful are those “bones”? Your smiles? Your posing posture, minus fats? Beauty “full”! Innit?! The “sheets” on your bone are smoother than “Jones’” Yes! But beds are “beds” without their sheets! Consider your sheet a bed’s sheet! Not a proud, different sheet, or a better meat! You and “Jones” have the same bones You are “beauty” “full” so is Jones!

Hey Sam. Good to see you here again. A good reminder that beauty transcends or is it "goes under" the "sheets". Thank you
