trying to maintain writing a poem a day... nearly

firstly notice the neatly combed hair
arms and hands would be needed for that
I detect something amiss
the breadth of those shoulders
not those of a keen swimmer
how location and the individual attributes conflict
whilst beauty is only skin deep
I smell a rat when skin isn't skin deep
I'm in no position to judge a head full of metal rods
for I am not a metal rod head expert
the lack of adhesion of face to head
I'd say is an issue
but it didn't mess up the hair
maybe it works for them
I won't criticise
but I wish they'd let me past
into the deep blue sea
away from staring eyes
and cogs I don't care for
the water will do
I've had quite enough of this presentation of humanity
that really doesn't tally
with what I believe humanity to be
