Notes About The Poem

Held Together

Held together by hairspray and prayers.
Knowing the quiddity could not be changed.
Clothes could not zhuzh it nor putting on airs.
As long as the attitude remained deranged.

Attitudes make a person who they are.
Just a nip here and a tuck there
Life could have a different repertoire. 
An awesome attitude equals a billionaire.
