This is an honest poem, and hits me right at my nose, so to speak. It is so easy and tempting to just buy instead of make.

It makes me sad, such an elegant thing with such a tragic purpose. Seeing things like this make me wish I lived in a world where interesting things like this didn’t have a purpose.
Why is he not on a full ride somewhere. I would love to help him. What could he make if he could actually have the opportunity that most of us take for granted.
