Definition



Insolence or abnormality will not pacify me.
I will not be a captive student to my own
Teachings of proper etiquette.

Frayed jeans are not any sort of indicator.
Glasses frames do not create personality.
Shoe brand is irrelevant.
Drug use does not correspond.
College acceptances do not prove;
College attendences do not verify.
Music knowledge is a fraud.
Political leaning is not a structure.
Religious beliefs do not create.
Pessimism is not sufficiency.
Nature appreciation is not universal inspiration.

This is a generation of Where's Waldo.
Please, a summary, is the number one question.
Five-hundred words, I'm afraid, is not a human being.
Eleven lines of poetry is not an answer.
Do not even attempt.
It is an impossibility.
I cannot be defined.
I will not be defined.
